Amazon Kindle for Australians

leave a comment »

Before moving to the USA I had the opportunity to see a couple of Amazon Kindles up close. These e-book readers are amazing, they:

  • Have a screen that looks just like paper (it’s so easy to read, nothing like a computer screen or phone screen),
  • Are about the size of a book and the thickness of a magazine,
  • Hold about 1,500 books,
  • Only require recharging once a week or so,
  • Can download books wirelessly in around 60 seconds.

The kicker has always been that they weren’t available in Australia (which isn’t really an issue for me now) but that’s all changed because Amazon has released an international version that works in 140 countries! Pre-order your Amazon Kindle International Edition now.
