Hi all, I wanted to give reading an Absolute beginners book a try, but I’m having a hard time in actually buying a book… there is a link to Bookwalker but the site is in Japanese, at WK level 4 I don’t speak enough to actually buy something there :wink: Then there is a link to Amazon.jp. I noticed …

I think switching between both accounts will be the easiest solution for me then… sucks that Amazon doesn’t have a worldwide account. I now have 3 accounts, for the USA, EU and Japan :wink:

That would be awesome! I’d like to buy this one to start my reading with: [image] わんわん探偵団１わんわん探偵団 ※この商品はタブレットなど大きいディスプレイを備えた端末で読むことに適しています。また、文字だけを拡大することや、文字列のハイライト、検索、辞書の参照、引用などの機能が使用できません。スピッツかわいは、犬の訓練士。元来いぬ好きなので、家にはい…

First, buy the coins. It can be used in both English and Japanese website. - ログイン｜電子書籍ストア - BOOK☆WALKER Also, the display language can be changed separately from the store website. Second, go to the Japanese website [image] Press 立ち読み to read the preview. 購入こうにゅう to buy. カートに入れる to add to cart. …

Thank you so much for this. When I follow your first link it opens my account settings page. On that page or on the homepage I can’t see where I can buy coins… but while reading the FAQ I saw this so I think I’ll manage it this way :slight_smile: https://help.bookwalker.jp/faq/en/990

Edit : @polv hooked you up nicely before me I see :stuck_out_tongue: I’ll keep the post in a details tag should anyone want to see : ▶ Summary

I wanted to order something from Amazon.com and for that the EU account doesn’t work… you need a separate account for that. And the same goes for Amazon.JP, also need a different account for that (I use the same email for all 3 accounts, but they are separate accounts). It’s a silly system. You don…

Yes thanks a lot both for the help :slight_smile: Hopefully this post will also help others in the future struggling with the same issue :slight_smile:

[image] Warrie: Thank you, but for what I see I can only buy English books/Manga on their English site? Ah, sorry about that. Since I saw my earlier purchases on the English site, I assumed you could also buy them there. Once you bought a volume of series, you can even click on the “Unpurchas…

[image] Warrie: I use the same email for all 3 accounts I am also curious whether the same email works. As a matter of fact, I can already browse Japanese eBook in Kindle (by setting the whole Android display language to Japanese, but in PC, it is really a no-brainer.) However, got this also…
