Amazon Kindle now available for International users

Ebook readers are not a new thing, as such devices exist for a few years already, but Amazon Kindle is the one that started up the madness, mostly because of the advanced wireless delivery options of the ebooks (and other supported media) and it was backed up by Amazon, the biggest online retailer. Those were the strong points that made the Kindle a US success, but now Amazon is aiming even higher, by offering an International version for the Amazon Kindle, the 6 inch screen variant.

I hope there are also plans to bring the bigger, Kindle DX into International space as it features a much bigger 9.7 ” e-Ink screen. The Amazon Kindle for International users is available for preorder starting today at 279 $ price point, not much more expensive than the US only version (20$ more). The main specs remain the same: 1500 books storage capacity (this is for medium size books), text to speech, books are delivered in under 60$, whispersync. The Kindle Store has the same titles, over 350.000 to choose from. Warranty remains the same: 1 year from manufacturer.

The International version practically offers 3G compatible network cards for other continents and allows non US (over 100 countries are supported. See more info about the Kindle International version here) users to set up an account for the Kindle Store.
