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.

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:
