Clarification:
Last issue I wrongly stated that the UK was getting an unfair deal when I compared the price of the Kindles - it actually turns out that these are two slightly different models, the UK version comes without adverts (or special offers as Amazon calls them) and the US version comes with them.
News:

Amazon Prime subscribers in US get free books - Subscribers to Amazon Prime in the US are getting another free service, as well as getting 2-day shipping for $79 a week they are also getting 1 free book rental from a limited Kindle library - this rental can last for an indefinite period. They also get unlimited movie streaming of selected movies for subscribing to the service.
2. New Kindle Personal features:

Now Jenny’s in hiding on a nearby mountain, waiting for trouble to catch up with her and none too sure it hasn’t, when reclusive mountain man Cord Goins comes to her rescue.

Synopsis:"Homicide cop Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles have seen their fair share of mortal crimes, but the death of Kimberly Rayner may qualify as inhuman in more ways than one. When the corpse of the emaciated seventeen-year-old girl is discovered next to an empty coffin in an abandoned church, mysterious bruises around the throat suggest foul play. Caught fleeing the scene is the victim's closest friend, Lucas Henry, an equally skeletal, pale teenager who claims he's guilty only of having a taste for blood-a craving he shared with Kimberly. But the victim's distraught father doesn't believe in vampires, only vengeance. And now, another life may be at risk unless Rizzoli and Isles can uncover the astonishing truth."
