The Amazon Kindle International
|
At long last, the Kindle 2
is available for shipping to over 100 different countries worldwide! I'm sure you'll
find that it was well worth the wait. Here are just a few points to
note:
- Your shipment will be subject to customs duties, import taxes and any other
fees levied by your country of residence. These will be clearly displayed when you checkout at
the Amazon store.
- At this time, you will need to buy your international Kindle via the
Amazon.com US website. The only
exception is for UK residents who, since August 2010, can shop in the UK Kindle store and buy direct from Amazon
UK.
- Your international Kindle will ship with an American power adapter and a
micro-USB cable which can be used to charge your Kindle from any computers USB port. The US
power adapter supports voltages from 100V to 240V.
- Personal documents can be transferred to your Kindle for free. Transferring
personal documents via Whispernet currently costs $0.99 per
megabyte.
- Wireless download speeds will vary depending upon 3G, EDGE/GPRS coverage,
file size and signal strength.
- All downloadable content, Kindle books, newspapers and magazines are
currently priced in US dollars.
- At the moment, blogs and web browsing are not available
internationally.
- You will have free access to
Wikipedia.
