Amazon Kindle International Edition US

When it comes to eBooks, the Kindle from Amazon is probably the best known and recognized, which is pretty bizarre when you consider that so far it has not been available outside the United States. Finally if, after what seems an age, the Kindle has been put at our disposal in the United Kingdom, but was it worth waiting?

First, I must say that the Kindle, in essence, is still not available in the UK, for amazon.co.uk does not sell. If you want to buy the international version of the Kindle, you need to order it from amazon.com in the U.S., where it must be delivered to you. This means you could end up paying duty and VAT on your Kindle if you’re unlucky enough to have your order stopped by customs. So that $ 259 price tag could end up being just a bit higher when you actually take delivery.

Of course, this also means that you’ll pay for your Kindle in U.S. Dollars, but then you have to get used to do transactions in dollars on your credit card, because you’ll buy all your books that way too. You see, despite the fact that Kindle books files are essentially just digital, you can buy from Amazon in Britain, however, you have to order from the Kindle store in the United States, and this means that prices in U.S. Dollars.

Assuming you are not overpaid for U.S. transactions by your company credit card that you buy in the store in the United States should not be too much of a chore, because once you set your Kindle in place, you should not have to go to the Amazon site, very often, if at all. Unlike other e-book readers, the Kindle does not need to connect a computer to have a content that has been installed. Instead, it has a modem integrated 3G data, which means you can buy and download anything from the Kindle store whenever and wherever you want. [via trustedreviews]
