Can you elaborate a little more on what doesn't work?
 I have one and it works fine in Turkey.

thanks for reply when you go into kindle store and enter books we get no items found.could it be that we have to reregister it in turkey?

No registration required. Are you accessing via the 3g connection or wi-fi?

If it's only a wifi Kindle (cost about £109- £111) then you will need to get an internet connection for it to download books and open the Amazon Store. I think the 3G version costs about £145.

Just go to a free wifi spot and try it there.

Hi have the wifi version seems to be ok until i go to books then on to say fiction and all i get is no items found

Is the wi-fi showing as being connected?
Can you use the experimental web browser on the Kindle to browse the internet?
If this is the case it may be worthwhile reseting the kindle by holding the power slide switch for 15 seconds.

yes the wi-fi seems to be connected however not sure how to use experimental web browser .I did try holding power slide switch but no joy but thanks anyway.

Are you sure it's the wifi you are looking at and not the battery power? I've got them mixed up before no our Kindle.

If you know how to turn the wifi off then do that - then switch it back on again.

Are you using your own internet connection or someone else's?
