Just a warning, if you use 3G to sync with Whispernet (outside of US), it's USD2 per book.
I picked the 3G version for fun.  It's not much of a premium, and you get free roaming as well. Good if you're stuck in a airport overseas and there is no free wifi available. I also wanted to see if it's possible to do anything else with the 3G (A-GPS anyone?).  Other than that, I don't really see a point of getting 3G version if you're just going to use it locally. Some phones can even act as an hotspot so you can just connect your kindle to your phone. |

QUOTE(isaac_c @ Oct 22 2010, 04:11 PM) Thanks Havocx, Ah thanks for that info isaac_c, Ill PM you what the Kindle DM List is all about Let me post the answers from you to my question in our PM exchanges. ------------- So here's the benefits of 3G in Malaysia. Amazon uses Whyspernet for synching, ie your books that you have purchased, would be able to synchronize even if youre without Wifi connection. Meaning you'll always have access to your books and buying new books whenever you feel like it. Also with 3G since Kindle comes with a browser, you'll be able to access websites and data when you are on the move at anytime you please. Since Kindle has a super long battery life, youre 3G will last about 15 days without needing recharging if youre always surfing using 3G. Its also not locked to any service providers. Now the cons : My personal thoughts. Kindle holds 33,000 books. Synching in an extra 1000 books before you go to a trip up Mount Kinabalu will be waaay more books than you can finish. Also, if you happen to bring the Kindle up, and still want to sync, remember ebooks are just about 50kb for a 950page book, it will be a super quick sync, something you would already do earlier before going up the mountain smile.gif Next on browsing. Nowadays you can also browse on your mobile phone. The Kindle has a decent browser, in fact its quite good, except you have to remember it will be in black and white. So yes you can surf the net, do your banking online and things like that, but the experience may not be as fulfilling since the screen is just black and white. But of course thats my personal thoughts only, the only person i know with a Kindle 3G on Lowyat forum is ailinchia, she visits the thread too now and then, perhaps you can see her responses to help you decide, if you ask me, and my personal use of Kindle, the 3G would be wasted on me. nod.gif ------------- Added on October 22, 2010, 4:35 pmHavocx, What's "Kindle DM List (*Special Bulk)" ? Anything different from normal bulk?   Its actually nothing to do with the main Kindle Bulk, just there for my tracking purposes and for some forummers references.QUOTE(ailinchia @ Oct 22 2010, 04:45 PM) Just a warning, if you use 3G to sync with Whispernet (outside of US), it's USD2 per book. Heh thanks for that feedback ailinchia. Maybe a correction there, an additional USD2 per book on top of the books original Kindle Price I picked the 3G version for fun. It's not much of a premium, and you get free roaming as well. Good if you're stuck in a airport overseas and there is no free wifi available. I also wanted to see if it's possible to do anything else with the 3G (A-GPS anyone?). Other than that, I don't really see a point of getting 3G version if you're just going to use it locally.

would you consider doing another bulk order on American's black Friday sale?I think we could get a better deal from Amazon during that time..
I'm interested in getting but still waiting for the best timing. |

I might, since I would wanna be getting some stuff then as well. Might however is a relative unknown at this time. Im not gonna make money with this Bulk, Im only doing the second round since another colleague missed out on the Kindle's the first time round, thus I volunteered another round. This would likely be the last bulk for Kindle's at least from me. I might start on another Bulk if I can get some time away from work. Thanks for asking though, let me know if you'd like to ride on this one too
Personally though, as the single best item on sales for Amazon, its highly unlikely they will be part of the Black Friday sale. Even then, if it is, we'll also need to consider the wait time to get the Kindle's since the folks in the US may be first on it hence running it to low stocks by then. Just my thoughts.

Allrighty folks, in expectation of a possible Black Friday and Halloween rush for the Kindle's I've decided to start with payment requests earlier so we can have a head start to that rush and get the orders in by hopefully the 1st week or early 2nd week of Nov. Any of you other folks interested, just to let you guys know I'm planning to wrap it up soon.
DM Stealth Bulk folks, once I confirm from my buddy he'll be able to do a walk in to the stores to get the DM's, I ll open a specific bulk thread for it just like the original DM bulk. Thanks again guys |

Just to share to anyone who has yet to buy this Kindle, I've received mine yesterday from havocx via COD at Ipoh and believe me this Kindle is amazing!
 I really thanked havocx for a 5 star service from the start of my enquiry until the day it came to me becoz without all of his continous support, advices & infos I don't think I'll be able purchase it safely & exactly as I imagined..  This is not to 'bodek' him ok but trust me, you can ask other succesfull buyers as well & I can guarantee they'll say the same...  I'm not the kind who'll buy anything online with large cash amount at risk so thank goodness it really paid off... As for the Kindle, the whole package is beyond my expectations especially on its screen & new e-ink technology which I never thought was so 'book-like'. I was expecting another of those gadget that's either a mini remake of the iPads, or another hyped up ebook reader with those typical LCD screens..but I was wrong! Kindle 3 is on a class of its own...  I was so impressed yesterday that I shockingly made another order..hehehe..  Well if you want more detailed description you'll just have to buy it to see for yourself...pity this is the last bulk...  Again congrats to havocx for the excellent service & looking forward to deal with him again!  |

Again congrats to havocx for the excellent service & looking forward to deal with him again! Thanks for the feedback, glad you like my service! Haha but then again Im not a trader, am doing this to share on the bulk of stuff that I plan to take in myself. This way, ill be able to get the items and be able to share the shipping cost with you guys equally on everyone's volumetric weight thereby getting the items here together at a much cheaper rate. Am also going with the more established shippers ie Fedex or DHL vs the USPS. Had enough of cheaper shipping and not receiving my items. Since these Kindle's do cost more, better be safe than sorry.To all you guys reading this, just as a shot of how amazing a Kindle is in terms of book reading, 12H4M is choosing yet ANOTHER KINDLE over an iPad. That should give you an idea how really AWESOME Kindle is as a reader. Nothing beats it, not the Size, not the weight, not on the choices of books it has. The only 1 single thing i believe that can and that too is a big maybe...would be an actual book QUOTE(wvt @ Oct 24 2010, 10:44 PM) hi havocx you got PM. Thank you sir, right back at ya. Let me know as soon as possible. Im planning to already place the order tonight or tommorow morning. Just awaiting for the last few folks to do a cash transfer.QUOTE(12H4M @ Oct 25 2010, 11:47 AM) Hi havocx, hope you can PM me the final quote & update the list (pg.1) as I've changed the cover model...thanks! Done 12H4M, please check on the choice. Let me know if there's any changes |
