Bulk 15 orders have started.
Please view the status at the end of this post.

*Kindle FAQ is at the bottom of this post

If you are still interested, please reply this thread or PM me.
Other Amazon.com orders and External Websites are accepted as well!

Heya folks! Ive been itching for a while now to get myself a couple of the latest 6" Wifi Kindle Wireless Reader and have finally gotten a contact in the US to help me with getting them in. 
As you may already know, Amazon will not ship these devices to Malaysia although once you have it you'll be able to use with any eBooks ! 
Since Im ordering 2 units in I thought I'd bring in this Bulk to help you guys in getting one for yourselves as well as to spread the cost of shipping between us.
Lets see what we have.

What is Kindle ? 

Kindle at a Glance
New, High-Contrast E Ink Screen Wireless eBook Reader. 
It has 50% better contrast than its nearest rival. The clearest text and sharpest images. 
Unlike LCD screens, Kindle's screen reads like real paper, with no glare. 
Read as easily in bright sunlight as in your living room. 
At only 8.5 ounces and 1/3 of an inch thin, Kindle is lighter than a paperback and thinner than a magazine. 
A single charge lasts up to one month with wireless off. Keep wireless always on and go for up to three weeks without recharging.
Share meaningful passages with friends and family with built-in Twitter and Facebook integration.

Thanks to Kindlerama.com for the Flowcharts
Still wanna know more ? Visit here for information and videos in relation to the latest Kindle 3 from Amazon!.
 
Impressed yet ? Sure you are! 
So lets see how this bulk will go.

Item(s):
Kindle Wireless Reading Device, Wi-Fi, 6" Display, - Latest Generation
Colours available for you to choose : Black, White and the Hard to Get Graphite!

Package includes:

The whole Kindle SEALED package from Amazon with everything intact.
Just like Amazon, this is ONLY for the Kindle. It does not include the covers or anything else from Amazon.
These could be obtained via a separate quote.

Condition:
New! 

Price:
Updated Price of RM 600 to your door !  
No Minimum Order Quantity though Im limiting it to only 10 units this round. No hidden charges. 
Im in it for the long run because MY ORDER is in this shipment too. So I personally have a share and care for this bulk. 
Plus since this is a specific Kindle Only Bulk, you dont have to wait until theres a MOQ of other items to make up the weight!!

Status : Multiple Bulks are now open for orders! Details below

Frequently Asked Question, please read before ordering
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


How this works ?
This is how the bulk works:
Ill only open this bulk for about a week , till have a look below to see updates . Ill then proceed with the order from there.
* Bulk 8 is collecting orders now.

1) First lookup all the items you'd want, this can be anything from Amazon as well. Confirm your order with me. 
After confirming your order, I'll PM you my banking details.
2) Bulk Order will close once we reach the 10 persons. It will still proceed even if there is less folks than that.
3) You will receive a request to make full payment if not already done so.
4) Ill proceed to have the items shipped from Amazon to my US contacts address.
 

They will be marked as Gift to ensure the Kindle is not registered under my Amazon account. 
Be careful of this if you decide to join another bulk, make sure you have to have your Kindle marked as Gift, 
else the Kindle and Content on it will be registered under your buyers Amazon account.

5) You will receive updates on the items progress.
5) Shipment will be sent via Courier to my Malaysian address.
6) Ill arrange for a COD or Courier the items to your preferred Malaysian location or address. 

Current Order - Opening NOW till the dates shown at the bottom of this post!
Bulk will start again when there's enough interested parties.

When will it reach you?
After payment and the notifcation that order has been placed with Amazon, 
the estimated maximum time frame will be about 3 weeks from date of payment. From my bulk though you can see the fastest was 7 days!

Warranty:
Warranty will be one year by Amazon. Ill help you with any claims if needed or your may proceed on the claims from your end.

Safe to Deal with me?
From my first bulk Ive got 2 units. Still received PM's requesting a second bulk, hence you see this.
Over 35 Kindles so far and im still going strong. Im here for the long run.
Please Notice the safe trader tag. I have been on this forum for quite a while now and have also an extensive trade history on this forum.
Ive dealt with a lot of individuals and most of my COD is done at the place where I work, 
so easily you would be able to look for me for any concerns.

Dealing method:
COD or Shipping Im open to both! Shipping is however preferred for this item.
Shipping is preferred for this item not cuz I wanna run away or try to cheat you out of your hard earned money. 
Time is money too. And sadly with my current schedule I find that it would be easier for me to ship this item. 
Nevertheless I will surely make arrangements to suit both our times.

Reason for sale:
As per above. Im doing this bulk mainly to get 2 Kindle Units for my personal use. As the cost of shipping it over is very high, 
I thought of perhaps having a shared transaction it may lighten my shipment load and realise your dreams to get the Kindle for yourselves

Hey I'm almost 90% interested...but just want to know about the battery maintenance here in Malaysia, I've read a review here AMAZON KINDLE REVIEW that says ( I quote below),

"After a year or two of moderate use, the battery will start to lose its ability to hold a charge...To replace Kindle's battery, you must ship your Kindle to Amazon. Amazon's customer service told me that they ship you back a DIFFERENT kindle (though the same model as yours) with a new battery inside. I really don't like this, at all."

Is there any way we could solve this as they don't ship it to Malaysia so I don't know if they do it for this purpose either... hmm.gif

Haha sure thing buddy, too bad im way in too deep. Ill proceed by the 29th September anyway even without anyone joining in smile.gif
This is a bulk that im dedicating specifically to the Kindle.

They may not have the best prices at the moment and that's the reason Im hoping to share the shipping so that it can be lower for everyone.
I really want them. nod.gif

Heya buddy, yeah noticed this too, since the shipment's gonna be together with mine, once your's start to lose the charge, mine would too and if Im sending mine Ill get you in too. Besides, Amazon actually do ship to Malaysia just not Kindle. Im sure that for replacement's however since the buyer has purchased and registered the Kindle (say a US citizen now an expat to Malaysia), something happens to the battery, you ship back to them, they would honor shipping back the item to Malaysia, else, Im sure ill still be around in this forum in the next 2 years, ill help you with a US address, if youre worried about me disappearing, hey notice Ive been here since 2003 ? nod.gif

Right now perhaps not, the cover looks to be a little costly too, of course if youre interested I can quote you the price into the shipment too.
My experience of having the iPad at home, even normal covers will suffice, one of the 2 iPads I have runs with just a normal cloth slip on cover. Just like these...

It goes well in my bag to the office, of course Ive removed any potential hard and sharp objects from my briefcase beforehand.
Same thing I plan to do with the Kindle smile.gif
In case youre wondering, why Kindle when I have the iPad, have you seen the latest Kindle advert ? Where the guy is by the pool or by the beach and cant read on his Tablet ?
Exactly the reason, oh and the 1 month battery life on the single charge. Gotta love that ! smile.gif

Yeah you're right the cheapest cover price from Amazon is almost $35 USD (RM108)...guess I could find some compatible covers here...

I was considering the iPad before Kindle actually and I've heard that reading from the iPad or tablet PCs is almost the same as reading from your PC monitors for long hours...unless if you don't intend on doing the actual "book reading activities" then it's ok I guess..

Yep, two problems I faced reading the iPad in bed.
Too heavy and even under the lowest brightness its still painful to the eyes for long reading hours during the night.
A lot my colleagues experience having both the iPad, iPhone and Kindle and using it for reading all were unanimous that the Kindle is the runaway winner for reading.

Excellent question to which I know would come up, perhaps I sadly was not able to explain much in my earlier description.
Im hiding nothing smile.gif Youre right its only USD 139 and shipping to any US location is Free, so shipping to my US colleagues address is free.

Trouble starts when I wanted to get them in to Malaysia, to ensure that they get here safe only Fedex or DHL was the only option. (Super Reliable and Safest but also not so cheap)
Secondly, insurance, duties and taxes needed to be paid in the US for it. ( Another Hurdle, something that cannot be avoided in the US)

Finally as mentioned shipping is calculated either by weight or volumetric weight whichever is higher.
For my 2 Kindle's already there at my colleagues house the volumetric weight for them is 1.89 kg, heavy when you calculate Kindle is only 248grams!
There could also be a chance for Customs Tax once it drops in to Malaysia.

Hence my offer for Bulk.
The more folks we have the lower the final charges, sharing the cost. I dont believe it will be more than RM700.
If its cheaper Ill definitely return the difference, Im not here to make money out of shipping smile.gif

If you look for them in eBay, you'll find they run for more than Im offering wink.gif
I may not be able to match the Full Time Bulk Orders from this site but Im hoping to be able to.
At least for mine, the wait time is shorter and its specific only to Kindle 3 Wifi Only notworthy.gif

Once arrived here, what courier service you're using to send to the buyer's home address?...I don't know if Poslaju is that reliable though as they will be sent by the normal postman on his motorbike here (Perak)...can't imagine what the Kindle will go through... sweat.gif

Sure thing buddy, ill PM you my details ie Banking account, name and contact details.
Ill then wait for your payment.
On the 29th Ill proceed with the order from Amazon.
Item should be sent to my colleagues house in 3 working days. From there its about 6 working days to reach our Kampung smile.gif
Ill then proceed to courier the item or to arrange COD with your kindself.

For the cover, im not really sure what youre looking for? If its insurance cover, thats going to be in the shipping charges.
For actual cover for the item, youve seen what I use.
If you would like the cover from Amazon, that will be fine too, just choose the cover you like and let me know, ill quote you the final price in RM. wink.gif
They will come in the same shipment.

No way im using Poslaju. (No offense abang posmen)
Im planning to use either CityLink, Kangaroo Express or Nationwide Courier to send the item over. Else Im going to go with Fedex and DHL.
At least they have a better insurance coverage and more reliable.

Also actually if by Perak you mean Ipoh, we can even COD ! smile.gif My hometown's Ipoh and I may drop by with the shipment. thumbup.gif

Thanks for your comments guys. As you know, I have an interest in this bulk too, so of course getting it the cheapest for all of us is my aim.
Say, I was doing some research on Kindle Casings. Here's a link that you guys may be interested in.
How To Pick Kindle Case.
Im planning to only use the normal Neoprene case for my Kindle, perhaps getting a screen protector for it as my only protection after reading that
out. I think I should be able to get them over to you guys too smile.gif
