Gosh crap like that ticks me off.
Amen to that!
Although I do already have a kindle, and apparently the fire isn't as good as a regular kindle for reading, I might still get this fire pad, if it were available outside the US.
It's odd, I can get a regular kindle from the US (correction: I must buy it from the US, for some reason the country that is only about 60 miles away, ie the UK, member of the EU, for as long as that will last, doesn't ship to Belgium) but not a fire. It'll come I suppose, I guess it's for some copyright reason, or similar nonsense.
The 7 inch screen just seems a bit too small for comfort, I've read reviews stating that for magazines and such, it's just not big enough. I guess I'll wait for the 9 inch screen, if they ever ship it overseas.
