As well as the Guardian article mentioned (http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology...kindle-charges), Pocketlint have taken up the story of excessive charges:

Hi All,
I was just wondering if anyone thought of this: - I already own a Kindle II and live in The Netherlands. Will that device be able to work like an international kindle at this point? Or in the future? (i just turned the wireless on, but there is no wireless now.)) eaderigt |

Well well well...the Kindle goes international...two years too late, but at least they finally did it. There are still lots's of things to be worked out I guess, but it's a promising start, I hope the pricing discrepancies will be sorted out soon.
Now I just have to find a way to fit a Kindle into the house-building budget not too long after I impulsively bought a Sony Reader...damn... One thing that puzzles me thought...why would I have to order the Kindle from amazon.com, importing it directly from the US instead of just getting it from amazon.de???

New Zealand is not included in the range of countries in which Kindle will be sold. Has the highest per capita of population who read/buy books. Go figure.

Another reason that the per capita argument is irrelevant to Amazon (although its a great point in the context that you make it), is that I think part of Amazon's plans for world domination reflect that they are convinced that the Kimble isn't just going to be sold to people who already read, but rather re-introduce reading to people who don't currently do so. According to Amazon, Amazon is going to re-literate the world. Anyway, there's no reason why it won't be made available to you soon. Oh, and good luck tonight against Bahrain (if you know what I'm talking about!). Last edited by barrow; 10-09-2009 at 09:25 PM. |

Bought from mobipocket.com. Has been a DRMed .prc dictionary. Just had to strip from DRM, copy to Kindle and define as standard dictionary. Pic 1: Choosing the standard dictionary. Pic 2: Instant lookup in the (new) standard dictionary. Last edited by mgmueller; 10-09-2009 at 10:50 PM. |
