I have just now put in a pre-order for Morgoth's Ring (US Amazon – for reasons, the logic of which unfailingly escapes me, I need to use US Amazon for Kindle purchases because I am located in Denmark).

It is listed to be published on 19 August.

That is strange as you appear to be buying the UK version from Amazon.com instead of Amazon.co.uk. Geo-fencing is very silly,

That is so weird. You are literally a hop and skip from the German Amazon.

You can set your address to any other country and then shop in that countries Amazon store for Kindle so if you would prefer to use German Amazon for Kindle, set an address and it will think you are in Germany, no geo tracking on Kindles for shopping.

I note an error in HC's Sauron Defeated. In 3 (vi), Section on Adunaic consonants:

At the same time the combinations PPh, TTh, KKh became the ‘affricates’ PF, TÞ, KX, and then the long or double spirants FF, PP, XX.

In the paper version it's ÞÞ, which fits the context.

The kindle versions always have such errors. Earlier kindle versions of LOTR render ŋ as n, till someone noted it and changed it to η
