Recently i havent been able to buy books from amazon.co.jp recently, it says the location on my kindle is not japan and should be changed. I don’t live in japan, but I can only change the location to one in japan. Did anyone have the same problem recently?
You need to use a VPN to trick them into thinking you’re in Japan.
I see… Like a week ago it was fine for me😱
How about I ask someone living in Japan to order from my account? Or does the kindle need to have the vpn?
As long as it’s a Japan IP address it should be fine. You’d only need to use the VPN for a few purchases and then it leaves you alone again though.
EDIT: Rather, purchasing from a Japan IP address a few times regardless of the approach should get Amazon off your back for a while.
Thank you that helps a lot! Since I’m not great with vpn I’ll ask my friend to order some things in Japan lol
Thank you!!!

Very straightforward and enough free data every month to make Amazon JP purchases.
Great thread. Thanks for starting, I don’t know if this link works for everyone since I have JP prime but there’s a load of free Manga available in my store.
I only had to use a VPN once a few weeks ago and I can buy books. However I’m using my tensou address in my account.
But I did use the VPN once, though it was fine before I used it. So I’m not sure.
No, it’s not.
When I go to Contents and Device Management, I’m hit with this message:
現在の居住国設定では、Amazon.co.jpのデジタルコンテンツストアをご利用いただけません。「設定」タブからお住まいの国を修正してください。[お困りの場合]カスタマーサービスへご連絡ください。
How do I access settings to change my region?
edit: nevermind i’m an idiot. preferences was right above the message…
Found a few free ones of interest just by searching 期間限定 無料お試し版 (Limited edition free editions)
First three volumes of 7SEEDS vol1 vol2 vol3
EDIT: Another Netflix show: チャンネルはそのまま！
I’ve added both under ‘limited free’.
Interesting to see so many ones that Netflix has based shows off.
As I said in my first post, there are TONS more but I’m just linking ones I recognise, I can’t link all of them (plus some look a little ecchi).
Hesitant to add this one, as it’s a sequel and the original isn’t available for free, but since this was one of the first manga I ever read, I had to add it. (Oddly enough, it was one of the only manga my high school library had when I was in year 7, so I borrowed it and read through the entire series)
Peach Girl NEXT (sequel to Peach Girl) volume 1
Unsure about the level of difficulty, so I have popped it under ‘unsure’.
Also added ULTRAMAN (and now I have that song in my head).
ULTRAMAN vol1 vol2 vol3
ULRAMAN appears to be free until July 29th.
DURAMATIC
Found this:
Giving the first volumes for free seems to be common practice.
This was useful - thanks! Changed my country and though I wanted to be in Osaka, Hokkaido it is.
Though all this reading is way ahead of where I’m at with Japanese now, it’s really fantastic to download these all for the future. Thanks so much 
Here are some free ones that have 4.5*+ reviews with a minimum of 40 reviews. Hopefully they’re not… indecent, but I think they might be okay??
At least the first couple volumes of からかい上手の高木さん and it’s sequel からかい上手の（元）高木さん and this… spin-off? 恋に恋するユカリちゃん are also free right now.
This was just what I was looking for (and couldnt find)! Thanks a bunch, ive been looking for a free vpn that had japan in the non premium servers, this was great!
I’d like to mention that the Attack On Titan books are not free anymore it seems.
I’ll check in the morning and update (5am and looking after my sick partner), thanks for letting me know!
