    I can't find a single thing I can actually buy, so unless it's just my account they don't like, I don't see the point in making the app available on the UK market.

      Do you have an amazon.com account?

    DRM free title

    Not a bad program with Kindle books. I downloaded a free one to test.

    DRM free books crash it though, although I thought that Kindles coped with them. So it's totally useless as far as I'm concerned.
