Until recently Irish users were forced to use the https:amazon.co.uk site. This was annoying because prices are quoted in pounds sterling rather than euros. Also shipping was slower and more expensive for Irish users compared to the service for UK users.
Irish users were understandably excited with the recent launch of https://amazon.ie/
I am personally excited and I have bought some books and been pleasantly surprised with the low price and speed of delivery. Unfortunately, it seems that the new https://amazon.ie/ site does have a major flaw - it doesn't support the sale of eBooks. I was mildly surprised that it didn't offer me the option of ordering a Kindle edition of the books I wanted. I assumed that the book in question didn't have a Kindle version, but then I checked on the https:amazon.co.uk site and a `kindle edition was available there.
