the format of the books are the same. what makes e-readers like kindle and other gadgets different is the e-ink technology. the screen doesn't emit light, thus making it easier on the eyes for hours and hours of comfortable reading - something you cannot do on the screen of notebooks or ipads or mobile phones.

people who are serious about reading will appreciate the screens on kindle or other e-readers as they try to come as close to paper as possible. that is the key difference.

May I ask what if Kindle 3 Amazon US itself will not be delivered to my address (Malaysia)?

Any other affordable e-reader similar to Kindle? because as far as I know, Kindle is the cheapest yet with high reputation compared to what sold in MPH (as far as I know) with the price raging around $1000..

Please help..thanks a lot.

I have been following the steps in the first post to purchase my first e-book for my Kindle. However, I received an e-mail from Amazon stating that the home country registered to my Kindle does not match the country of my residence.  They also mentioned that they would restrict the home country settings should I continue purchasing US titles if I do not complete the verification process. What should I do in this case? I want to be able to continue buying e-books from Amazon  sad.gif

i didn't follow the 1st post steps. i registered my kindle and added my credit card in the same account - and added a US address. i've been buying books without a problem. in fact i just set up another kindle for my cousin the same way.

if you are afraid they will restrict your home country settings in your current account, you can deregister your current account from your kindle, and set it up with a new account. make sure the new account has a US address.

hope this works. enjoy your kindle smile.gif

Wow you did it the direct way! I am afraid they would check that my card details do not match my personal details on the Amazon account. They did not trace your IP address when you did your purchases?

May I ask what kind of credit card did you use for your purchases? Also, what is the billing address that you included in your Amazon account? Did you buy books directly from your Kindle, or from your computer?

Hsbc Visa. I put a random Starbucks address as my home address tongue.gif

Bought from kindle and from PC. I put my credit card as one click.
