Kindle is coming to the UK on the 19th – Just 4 days to go…
i m waiting to buy it, and also to subscribe those newsletters and magazines from Amazon, i want to explore all those list that are been updated over there.
Kindle is great product but I am not considering to buy it because I have my Sony reader with one is better in many aspects.
I agree with Arthur- hopefully some competition will finally knock down the price.
The kinlde is the think I am waiting for…
Interesting, I didn’t know that it wasn’t already a worldwide product. Looks like there is a lot of demand for the Kindle all over the world. I do like the Sony reader too, though. It is more compact and portable because it doesn’t have a keyboard or WiFi.
This looks fantastic… can’t wait for it to come out over here. Already seen the publicity for it and it looks great.

nice post…………..
Great post,thanks for sharing it.
Hello friend I am from India:-If you are in India, the best benefit of Kindle that it has wireless access everywhere vanishes. I’ll suggest you to get the Sony reader instead. Quite a lot of people vote for it for better PDF support and touchscreen function. You can check out the customer review here:
What’s kindle look like?
Kindle is a great thing that Amazon has put out it is really conveinant to be able to get books in this format.
I just got my Kindle today, and I felt like a kid on Christmas morning. First, I opened the package. What an experience! It literally took my breath away, because even the packaging on this thing was amazing. When I got to my Kindle, it had a message on the screen. I figured it was just a sticker on the screen, but imagine my surprise when after I did what it told me to do, it went to the next screen! It was completely ready for me. I went through the user’s guide, and when I went to the home page, it already had my name on it. I went to the Kindle store and was able to read a few pages of a book before actually buying the book. What a deal! Not to mention, all of the books I can get on Kindle are cheaper than what I would buy in the store anyway. I mean, how could I pass up on the chance to have my entire library of books with me at all times? The screen does not bother me in any way – it is just like looking at paper! In no time at all, I was able to easily figure out all of the little nuances to the Kindle, and began bookmarking important things that I may wish to reference later as well as making notes about certain things I had read.
This device is an amazing little piece of technology. I know some people will never give up on paper books, but I am sure that the Kindle is the wave of the future. It is so easy to use and so easy to take anywhere. I will recommend this to everyone I meet that loves to read!
Thanks for discussing this post. I’d like it with more detail though, feel free to e-mail me about it.
I have copies of it and I bought it at a very affordable price. You can actually have it for free and I saw some site which offers for free I just forgot the url.
Thank you,
