There are loads of free classics available from the Kindle store.

I heard a programme on Radio 4 extolling the virtues of Great Expectations, which I've never read.

Ah ha, I thought, I'll get it from the Kindle store. Turns out it's not free.

Mentioned this to my partner, who said 'Yes it is!'

She has an amazon.com account set up while she was in the US. When she logs in it's free. If I log in to my amazon.com account, which knows from my IP address I'm in the UK, it's chargeable.

Guess it must be something to do with the Dickens estate over here still wanting royalties...
