What store in Chicago to buy Kindle paperwhite?

abrizz · 10-12-2012, 02:55 AM

Hi,

A friend of mine is going over to the states (Chicago) tomorrow and I have persuaded him to try and find a kindle paperwhite and buy back for me.
Only problem is that I don't know what store he should go to?
Could anyone give me a tip on what store/chain is most likely to have one in central Chicago?
I don't want him to have to go around chasing all over town

Thanks for helping!

No retail stores have PWs yet as far as I know. At this point I think they are only available from Amazon.

aaahw...

Any store that might get it in the next two weeks?
Or rather any store that is more likely to get it?

I don't know any store names at all so don't know where to tell him to go and ask. If they don't have they don't have it.

There's Staples and Best Buy. Those are two that I know are taking pre-orders around here. Other than that, I don't know of any others. Possibly h.h. gregg, too, as they do stock the Kindle Fire. But I don't know if they are getting the PW or not. Sorry I am not more helpful.

But you are helpful!
That is two stores I didn't know about before so!

I'll ask him to go and check there at the end of his stay and maybe they will have gotten the device by then.

Thank you!

Abrizz where do you live? ...cause they are taking preorders in the European stores now.

I live in Sweden. Didn't know that they had preorders up.
Before they would only let me order Kindle products from the US-store.
Will check it out. Thanks!
