By the by, for those familiar with the pragmatic bookshelf, and were hoping to get it without DRM on that site, this was published by Addison Wesley, not pragmatic bookshelf. One wonders how much the authors' experience publishing with Addison Wesley led to their founding Pragmatic Bookshelf. They do have a page for the book on their site: http://pragprog.com/the-pragmatic-programmer/ But the buy link is broken: http…

Any US users want to help us foreigners out by gifting it for the $2.99 price?

I have the $2.99 price available to me in New Zealand. As I'm usually the one getting screwed by regional pricing (on steam), I'd be happy to help out. Just drop me the funds via paypal and I'll gift to your email via amazon. Email me: jconnop at google's glorious gmail.

In these cases the recipient will be given the option to request an exchange for gift credit on their Amazon.com account during the redemption process, or they may contact Customer Service for assistance in exchanging the book."

For the ones that are seeing a different price. There is a small trick workaround for that. You can generate a real US address here: http://www.realusaaddress.com/ and make that your primary address. As you as shipping digital stuff it doesn't matter that it's not your real address. Prices of the Kindle store should drop immediately. Watch out when making non digital purchases though that you select the correct addre…

If the Kindle is registered to a UK device it blocks it at that point.

I used a proxy so I looked like I was in the US, registered a new account and it was all fine but it wouldn't let me gift it to a UK Kindle.
