I experienced Kindle 2 first hand last week, borrowed from a friend who came back from Australia and I was attracted to it immediately. I travel and read very often so Kindle would be really useful on my journeys.
Did some research on how to get one over here in Malaysia and I must say this thread is really, really useful.
Now that I'm going to ask a friend to bring back the-all-new-kindle from the U.S for me (shipping by/before 10/9). Guess I'll settle for the Wi-Fi edition.
However, there are several questions still hanging over my head. From stringfellow's guide :
1. Does that mean that my friend in the US doesn't need to register my kindle for me there? Can I do it myself in Malaysia instead since it's out of the Whispernet coverage?
2. After doing all the steps stringfellow mentioned, my books can be downloaded over Wi-Fi using my account B amazon's account, is that right?
3. Would it be taxed if my friend shipped it to me instead of bringing it back himself?
I'm sorry if the answers are already in some of the posts above, but I just want to be absolutely sure before purchasing it.
Many thanks!
Can the we surf the net on the wi-fi? i tot whispernet is needed to do that and thus won't be able to surf the net in Malaysia and china where that is not available.Did some research on how to get one over here in Malaysia and I must say this thread is really, really useful.
