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...

user posted image

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

Haha actually, there's a lot of sample. One of them shown below

user posted image

These are expensive though, about USD 34 each. I thought of using the Neoprene case that im also using for my Ipad. An easy way to imagine them is the easy slip on cover, a sleeve if you must. There are many neoprene sleeves to choose from. They all offer strong protection due to the strength of the neoprene fabric. But few are made to fit the Kindle 3 quite so well, doesnt matter, a 7" sleeve or 10" will do just fine. Even though there is no zipper the device is held so tightly that you never feel any likelihood of it falling free. The Kindle only comes out when you want it to. But the lack of zipper also makes the whole thing super easy, slip your Reader in and out without any fuss.

For the screen protector, im sure it will not disrupt our reading ability, havent had one yet myself to test and confirm though, still awaiting for this shipment in smile.gif

Heya buddy, I may be open to that suggestion, but lets work it via PM.
Remember Im not doing this for profit but to cut my shipping charges and wait time to bring it in to Malaysia, for some bulk,
I will have to rely on other materials being collected and only once everyone makes payment will they start to ship in.
This Kindle Bulk is just the Kindle's and any other items that you might wanna get at the same time from Amazon.

Since Im not trying to make a profit, Ill try my best to accomodate your request.

Promised some Status Update Right after Amazon Updates me. 2 other orders well on its way to US address!
See the difference from the first status update photo smile.gif

I'm considering this Belkin case for my Kindle...Belkin Neoprene Kindle Case cool2.gif

Oh I forgot to ask about the power adapter, do I need to buy the UK spec (3 pins) for it?...I read that the order comes with a US version (doesn't fit here in M'sia)...

As per your PM, ill add the Belkin Neoprene Kindle Case order in smile.gif
For the power adapter dont worry too much about it, Kindle can be charged 2 ways, via direct power (no need of transformer) using its US plug or USB. US plug, you just need to get the adapter, about RM3.
No need to spend on getting a full blown power transformer or better yet, get a Plug head that can charge USB, and carry that along, that way while on the move you can plug the USB to
say car adapter, or a normal laptop for power.

BUT, why worry ? smile.gif Kindle lasts about a month on a full single charge without Wifi. Amazing huh ! drool.gif

I know but based on some of the users' review it does a good job for Kindle 3!...as long as you don't require a snug fit case & use it only for protection & mobility then I think it's ok...you can read some of the reviews here: Customer Reviews

Hmm that screen cover looks okay, plus im sure we wont be able to find any similar sizes here. Its cheap too at 99cents,
only shipping's a bomb for it even within US, USD 2.94 for a 99cents product. I guess though if all of us want it,
I could combine all the 99cents and share the shipping for the USD 2.94.

Let me know via PM if you're up for it.

Kindle is compatible with a few file types. Most files have to be converted. Amazon provides you two ways to convert your files: you can either send attachments wirelessly to the device’s personal e-mail address, which will cost you $.10 per attachment or you can send them to a “free” Kindle e-mail address that you access via your Windows or Mac OS computer and then transfer the converted files to your Kindle manually via USB.

The original Kindle supported only unprotected Mobipocket books (MOBI, PRC), plain text files (TXT), Topaz format books (TPZ), and Amazon's proprietary DRM-restricted format (AZW). Version 2.3 firmware upgrade for Kindle 2 (U.S. and International) added native Portable Document Format (PDF) support.Earlier versions did not fully support PDF, but Amazon provided "experimental" conversion to the native AZW format,with the caveat that not all PDFs may format correctly.It does not support the EPUB ebook standard. Amazon offers an email-based service that will convert JPEG, GIF, PNG and BMP graphics to AZW.Amazon will also convert HTML pages and Microsoft Word (DOC) documents through the same email-based mechanism, which will send a Kindle-formatted file to the device directly for $0.15 per MB or to a personal e-mail account for free. These services can be accessed by sending emails to <kindleusername>@kindle.com and to <kindleusername>@free.kindle.com for Whispernet-delivered and free email-delivered file conversion, respectively, but these are services available just for those who bought a real Kindle device, not available for those who just own the digital Kindle application (iPhone, iPad, etc.). The file that the user wants to be converted needs to be attached to these emails. Users could also convert PDF and other files to the first-generation Kindle's supported formats using third-party software. The original Kindle supported audio in the form of MP3s and Audible audiobooks (versions 2, 3 and 4), which had to be transferred to the Kindle via USB or on an SD card. However there is software available (e.g. Calibre) which can convert a non-DRM EPUB file into the Kindle Format.

A book may be downloaded from Amazon to a limited number of devices at the same time. The limit ranges from one to six devices, depending on an undisclosed number of licenses set by the book publisher. When the limit is reached, the users have to unregister some devices in the Manage Your Kindle page in order to add new device.

In short in can actually read a variety of formats if you readily convert them to be readable by Kindle. Thus original format readable is .mobi . prc .txt .tpz .azw .pdf. Using the converter however more various ebooks are readable by the Kindle. Supported Formats for Conversion

In addition to the file formats listed above, you can also convert other personal documents to read on your Kindle. The supported file formats are listed below:

• Microsoft Word (.DOC) • Structured HTML (.HTML, .HTM) • JPEG (.JPEG, .JPG) • GIF (.GIF) • PNG (.PNG) • BMP (.BMP) • Compressed ZIP (.ZIP)

Haha yep! It is the one that is also the earliest to run out of stock. Whilst there might be thousands of folks in the US running around with them, i guess its perhaps safe to say we're one of the few in Malaysia at this time to first have them units, with ailinchia the first person in that I know of around having the very first 3G Kindle notworthy.gif

Guys, sorry Ive yet to upload the shipment status, went back home from office only 1am yesterday and already in the office today at 6.30am. Ive got back to back meetings. Ill follow through later tonight. Just so everyone is updated, all the accesories except the Belkin covers have been shipped out by Amazon Partners to my US address. Amazon's orders been placed but they usually take a little while longer to work the items out.

Itll be soon when we get our stuff icon_rolleyes.gif

Thank you sir! In fact I did it as a bulk not for a quick buck but to share the shipping prices, so we get the Kindle at a fairer price that what you would ridiculously need to pay otherwise nod.gif
In any case, Ive finally found a way to capture clearly all the status so you guys can see. From the bottom, will be my first order, followed by the subsequent orders.
As you can see the latest the Kindle will make its way to my colleagues house is October 14th sad.gif
But that's just a rough estimate, Im sure itll reach earlier, in any case, as promised you'll be updated of course flex.gif

Update : wildquest just joined this bulk. Not to hold up the bulk, wildquest has gone for an expedited shipping option so the Kindle chosen will
reach earlier or at the same time the other Kindle's will reach. Updated the status in Post 1.

Sorry for the apparent silence folks, the days have been tiring with me reaching office by 7am and only leaving 11pm the whole of this week.
Today, made the mistake of drinking coffee at 10pm and now am having trouble sleeping doh.gif

I got my Kindle!! rclxm9.gif

Thanks to havocx for all the trouble. icon_rolleyes.gif

This bulk is actually my first time paying such a big amount upfront for buying something (normally I do COD). When I first express my interest in joining the bulk, he PM-ed me all his information, with a whole list details and he took time to answer all my concerns too. notworthy.gif

Not surprisingly, I wasn't worried at all for the bulk with the frequent updates sent by havocx even with his busy schedule. When the kindles arrived, he not only PM-ed, but also SMS-ed to notify on the kindle's arrival.

The excited me couldn't wait any longer and quickly arranged a meetup with havocx. I only gave him like 20 minutes notice. tongue.gif When he passed me the kindle, he took the time to do a demo on the kindle as well. I was practically drooling on the e-ink display.

havocx, thanks for all your time and effort in organizing this bulk. Kudos!

now.. time to continue playing with my kindle. wub.gif

Im glad youre enjoying the Kindle, hope the rest of the folks that got them on the bulk are too. I know I sure am smile.gif
Played around with some pictures of the Kindle yesterday

Thats an Iphone 4, Ipad and Kindle all on the same page side by side with half brightness.
Guess which is more pleasing to the eyes heh. Take them outside though in the harsh bright sunlight, and voila,
Full brightness on Iphone 4 and Ipad - Totally dark and hardly able to make out the display.
Same brightness on Kindle - Still the same, readable smile.gif

Hopefully the rest finds the same enjoyment, Im getting requests for a 2nd bulk, ill reopen them on Monday if there's more request notworthy.gif

Yep,
That you can, and like ours on the First Bulk, they can be registered even if we're in Malaysia. Some books we cant get since our IP would show that we're from Malaysia but using Proxy's there's still ways around that. Besides, there's a lot of Free ebook resources out there.

Project Guttenberg with 33,000 free ebooks for instance smile.gif

By the way havocx, have you applied the screen protector on your Kindle? If so, does the anti-glare feature truly works or it makes the screen even harder to read?

Another thing is, is it easy to apply it yourself?

I got a screen protector for myself, its Anti Glare BUT i didnt see the need to put it on, yet. The e-ink screen is simply amazing. How ? Well its really hard to explain until you see it for yourself. The only reason I would put it on is to protect the screen. The e-ink screen by itself is already superbly flat and is as anti glare as a normal newspaper you read in bright sunlight, ie no glare at all.

To apply, I have some experience in applying other screen protectors but when in doubt send to Handphone shop, pay the man RM3 he'll do it nice smile.gif

Heh Salute Yong notworthy.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif Thanks for the compliments, glad youre enjoying your Kindle nod.gif
Will try my best to handle the new orders coming in. Its really hard work though since I do have my normal day job to do, this should be my last bulk for Kindle's though. The first was cuz I was ordering two for myself, 2nd one to help out those who still is looking out for one, but maybe not a 3rd Bulk, we'll see though smile.gif

The 4.82 is shipping to Malaysia ? Thats an amazing price is thats the shipping cost. In any case glad to have helped earlier, hope you enjoy your Kindle, let me know if you have further questions on the Kindle, ive 'Jailbroken' mine haha ! Thanks again!

Heya,

Just wanted to say thanks for all the assist in getting the Kindle and Cover for me! Really appreciate you handling my last minute order, then also keeping me updated throughout all the delivery of the order (my most excited news was when you told me Kindle arrived in Malaysia biggrin.gif my first thought - so fast!)

Hopefully the package will be delivered in the hands of its brand new owner latest by tomorrow, since it got shipped to East Malaysia.. smile.gif

Excellent job, excellent service, and very very friendly

Keep up the good job and looking forward to bulk purchasing with you again!

Salute! Thanks for the kind compliments wildquest, glad to have helped. Its tiring to do the bulk, since you gotta make sure everything runs well,
sure hope Ive lived up to expectations. This should be my last bulk for the Kindle and anything from Amazon for this time since Ill want to concentrate back on work.
So last chance for folks to line up notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

Correction sir. It IS very cool. The difference of the effect of e-INK on the Kindle, blows ANY current available ebook reader in the market right now.
I should know, Ive compared my Kindle to the Iriver (more expensive, thats available in MPH)
Youve seen the video review up there to the Nook and Kobo.
Youve seen how I compared the Kindle to my own Iphone 4 Kindle App and Ipad Kindle App.
e-INK for reading...hands down! notworthy.gif nod.gif

Heh, its nice yes, but i have this feeling that youre only liking it much cuz youre a female yourself.
On some notes, the text-to-speech sounds a little robotic, but i got myself some Audible Books in there, at least not so robotic.
But yes the speakers quite good too, enjoying some of my MP3's with it.
Still in love with the e-ink though!

You can buy using Malaysian CC. Else you can also use Paypal. Kindle, however because of copyright of certain books, may not allow purchase of books outside of the US. That's not really a problem though.
1. You can always purchase using Malaysian CC Amazon Gift Cards. Register these cards to US address (mine is to the White House drool.gif ). You can then purchase using the Amazon Gift Cards to your Kindle.
2. Some books cant be purchased because of IP address limitation. If youre using a VPN service or proxy reroute service, you can still proceed to buy these books.

Hope that helps nod.gif

Right, unfortunately no, just actually running this last bulk to get one for a friend who missed out on the first bulk. Rave reviews from the first bulk is tempting him to get one. Ironically, its also for Christmas, early preparation helps smile.gif So if youre interested, let me know, im still going to proceed even if there is one order only.

Amazon account is required for your use on getting the Kindle ebooks on whispersync. If you dont want the specific Kindle ebooks, ie using all the other free ebooks out there then you dont need to get an Amazon account. If you already have an Amazon account but with Malaysian address, thats fine too, except that for some copyrighted book Amazon does not allow non US account or non US ip to download the books.

But for everything else on the net, free ebooks and stuff, thats all there for you to get it in into the Kindle buddy. Let me know if there's anything specific ie a picture of or a sample of that you wanna see and ill try to show ya.

It works just fine, just like how 3G works for the iPad. Its not locked to any provider. Works globally.
Worth getting, i personally dont think so, although forummer like ailinchia got one on my bulk. 3G allows you to sync books while youre in the middle of Langkawi away from your personal desktop and to surf the internet. You'll have to remember though that this sync will be for your books, at which before you left for Langkawi you would have already downloaded a few im sure.

Kindle holds 13,000 books and even if synching gets you 1000 books also you would not be reading all 1000 im sure smile.gif
Next on Net Surfing, well, you remember its going to be in Black and White no ? The browsers pretty decent though and gets you
through to the websites fast so yes if youre planning to surf the net whilst on the beach in Langkawi for instance, its an excellent choice.

Hope that helps smile.gif

Here i come.. tongue.gif

If you're using Malaysian address for your Amazon account, you don't get any books at all. Even if you use other countries where Amazon deliver Kindle to, (eg: Thailand, Philippines) some of the books will be more expensive by USD2 compared to the US version.

For Kindle 3g, you can't change the simcard (You can always hack it. And change some files inside Kindle). If you order from Amazon US, you get AT&T simcard inside your Kindle. Amazon pays for the roaming charges. If your Amazon account is registered to US address, you can use it to surf all websites (rather than a limited subset of websites). I haven't really used it yet, since I'm trying to avoid detection from Amazon that I'm outside US, but it works. smile.gif If I get detected, will see if I still can use it. If not probably I will just change the simcard inside.

If you're going to get books from Amazon, and you have 3G Kindle, make sure you choose the option "Transfer to your computer" rather than deliver to your Kindle directly. If you get the books using the 3G, you will be charged with USD2 per book delivered through 3G. That's the international Whispernet charges.

Wait what ? Amazon delivers to Thailand but no Malaysia ? What gives ? Ish ish...
Haha thanks for the info on the 3G ailinchia, its not really hacking but jailbreaking. Ive already done that on mine, nothing really major to do really and allows for some customization of the Kindle but WOW Amazon is the one paying for the roaming charges. Cool ! thumbup.gif

is it that the 3G roaming issues or book distributor issues that disallow amazon to cover their business area to our country? It seem that there is no official explanation for this. Does anyone know why they do that? Because it is really ridiculous that they can ship to Zibabwe or Angola and not our country. Just because their money value is bigger than us?

Actually its not the coverage of AT&T over here since remember, we can use our personal sim card as well, Digi, Maxis, Celcom and the rarely heard UMobile hehe.. Its actually the book distribution. Even on Amazon.com the main US site, some books cant be delivered to US based Kindle simply because they are copyrighted to only be distributed to the UK. So there's that limitation there. Even in Malaysia erm....Playboy is not allowed to be distributed so eheh officially we cant get it, but enterprising individuals...well, they could get em if they wanted to hehe biggrin.gif

Thanks Havocx,
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

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. biggrin.gif 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?). smile.gif

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. smile.gif

Thanks Havocx,
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.

Ah thanks for that info isaac_c, Ill PM you what the Kindle DM List is all about nod.gif Its actually nothing to do with the main Kindle Bulk, just there for my tracking purposes and for some forummers references.

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 smile.gif

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 smile.gif

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! drool.gif

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.. rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif
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... thumbup.gif
I'm not the kind who'll buy anything online with large cash amount at risk so thank goodness it really paid off... biggrin.gif

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... notworthy.gif

I was so impressed yesterday that I shockingly made another order..hehehe.. brows.gif

Well if you want more detailed description you'll just have to buy it to see for yourself...pity this is the last bulk... cry.gif

Again congrats to havocx for the excellent service & looking forward to deal with him again! icon_rolleyes.gif

Salute bro notworthy.gif 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

Blaming it on a bad day that's not getting any better icon_rolleyes.gif . Am not using forwarding companies especially one that ive not known of before and does not look to represent their exact methods for shipping and the process they use. Ive got a friend to do that back in the US, him and good ole DHL or Fedex, cuz of their name, rep and package/customs/tax handling experience.

Heya guys just thought I'd put in an update, got a call just now from my friend, here are the things that has arrived at his address at this time or that he had walked in to purchase earlier (*Special Bulk only) cool2.gif

1 x SanDisk Sansa Clip+ 4 GB MP3 Player (Red)
1 x SanDisk Sansa Clip+ 4 GB MP3 Player (Black)
1 x Belkin Pleated Kindle Sleeve (Fits 6" Display, 2nd Generation Kindle) Black
2 x Kindle Leather Cover, Black (Fits 6" Display, Latest Generation Kindle)
1 x Kindle Leather Cover, Burgundy Red (Fits 6" Display, Latest Generation Kindle)
8 x Kindle Wireless Reading Device, Wi-Fi, 6" Display, Graphite - Latest Generation
1 x Kindle 3G Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G + Wi-Fi, 6" Display, Graphite, 3G Works Globally - Latest Generation

(For the *Special Bulk)

3 x DM 3RB
4 x DM AM
1 x DM G
2 x 2DM



Looking at the tracking numbers, today's shipment ( US 28th October, perhaps by 3am our time on 29th October ) should get us

1 x ASUS N61JQ-XV1 16-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop (Dark Brown)
2 x Kindle Leather Cover, Chocolate Brown (Fits 6" Display, Latest Generation Kindle)

Once that reaches, that would mean all the high value items would have reached. rclxm9.gif

We still would need to be waiting for the rest of the items to arrive however sad.gif
These are the items sold in Amazon but by 3rd party vendors.
Delivery estimated dates are as below :

Nov 3rd 2010
1 x CaseCrown Amazon Kindle 3 (Latest Generation) Genuine Leather Premium Case with Multiple Compartments (Pink)
3 x CaseCrown Amazon Kindle 3 (Latest Generation) Genuine Leather Premium Case with Multiple Compartments (Black)
1 x CaseCrown Amazon Kindle 3 (Latest Generation) Genuine Leather Premium Case with Multiple Compartments (Red)
1 x rooCase 3n1 Folio (Black) Leather Case with LED Clip-On Book Light and Earbud for Amazon Kindle Wireless Reading Device
2 x CrazyOnDigital Kindle 3G 3rd Generation 3 AntiGlare Screen Protectors


Nov 4th 2010
1 x Belkin Pleated Kindle Sleeve (Fits 6" Display, 2nd Generation Kindle) Plum - Final Item

Working on that, just to let you know after the call from him, was told that he would not be available to pick up the item on the 4th as he has a meeting,
he'll be working from home on the 5th and will be available to wait for the attempt of redelivery.
Once everything is with him, he'll help pack everything up in one go and go off to Fedex or DHL to have them sent to us.
Will update you guys via PM once I get those details nod.gif

Right then, let me know if there's any further queries, there's still time to add to your orders but lets try and get only Amazon specific items if possible to cut down on the wait time,
would want everything ready to be shipped out by 5th October ! rclxm9.gif

Folks on ETA for all items looks to be at max, Nov 12th. At this time, all Kindle's, Laptops and Wallets are at the US address.
We're only awaiting for some remaining accessories and it can be shipped out.
Unless of course you want your Kindle's first, i can ship those out earlier but then again, the total cost may be higher nod.gif

For yet again Lack of Better Words.


POISON !! drool.gif drool.gif drool.gif

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Heh after waiting for 4 hours at Customs in Subang today to clarify and work out documents finally the shipment is released with me having to only pay a little extra. Apparently DHL in US still were in their Halloween Holiday spirit and wrongly calculated on the final shipping duties and taxes hence causing the delay and the confusion here. Had it all been done better on their end, all of us could have received the items since Monday 8th November, the day it touched down at Customs in Subang Airport.

Feast your eyes on 33KG's worth of shipment. drool.gif

Okie at this time however, the items are at home with my wife, ive headed back out to office to clear my work after 'disappearing' for 4 hours just now. I estimate to only be back by 1130pm tonight. Hopefully if you dont mind, ill start with the COD's tommorow, you guys will still be able to enjoy your purchases over the weekend nod.gif

This like to be an amazing end to another successful bulk, for those still interested please let me know and Ill consider if Ill do another Bulk, this time perhaps Ill even add orders for other stuff from Amazon too thumbup.gif

Yes, it can. Perhaps if you can start on the first post, you'll find the details there. Else you can visit Amazon.com.
The Kindle by far is the BEST ebook reader out there so far, in terms of price, what it can read, weight and in short...everything else! smile.gif

Yep, that was a suprise to me too, the extra large box, didnt think Amazon would be packing it in something so big. But its all good though, packing your laptop in the larger box guarantees that the inner main Laptop box is free from Dents and Scratches. If I was in the US and receiving that extra large box I would be REALLY happy. Shipping it back to Malaysia though, with a box as large as that, ultimately made a 3.5 kg laptop be calculated as a whooping 10.3KG's! Yowza.

Glad youre enjoying your laptop, really wished I could be there with you when youre opening it, must be a real beauty, 16" with Led screen. drool.gif

Well. As I see the packaging is fully protected to ensure that the kindle can survive in good condition from our local Couriers which we all know sometimes mishandling by them can happen. whistling.gif
That packing really make me felt secure when I open the packaging.

Still have time to squeeze in to this Bulk Order, Kindle's getting harder to get because of demand for Christmas, also as Im trying to get ahead of those shipping back their Christmas gifts and all that Im trying to get this bulk in as soon as possible. Details sent to you via PM, let me know if you have any further questions, I suggest directly sending me an SMS via the numbers i sent to you. nod.gif

Picked up my 2nd Kindle today at the post office today! Was worried at first looking at some dented corners of the outer box but inside was several more layers including the original box to open which made the Kindle extra safe! thumbup.gif

I'm using it right now with no problem. Great job again from havocx! rclxms.gif

Now considering for some Amazon orders with havocx...err when is the closing date for this 3rd bulk? Cheers! biggrin.gif

Dear good man, have already updated you the details in PM, unfortunately may not be able to cut it on the 3rd bulk as that's already ordered and is on its way to KL. Placed the order from Amazon on the 20th and it should be in KL by 1st Nov, quick huh smile.gif

If youre still looking out for it and if there's enough folks looking for one, I might just do a fourth bulk, its not worth it for you for me just to order 1 unit since the cost is prohibitive. Im not making money out of the bulk, I do it only to carry back some of my personal stuff from the US at a shared rate smile.gif

Let me know if youre still interested for Bulk 4.

Awesome stuff youve got there bro, now both you and wifey has one Kindle each smile.gif Glad you like the packaging!
Unfortunately for the 3rd bulk, the orders already been made and its now on its way to my colleagues address, today is the last shipment thats supposed to come in after which ill have it sent back home. Am in HK at this time so may not have time to handle new orders, the 3rd Bulk is already on its way.

If youre still interested let me know though via PM, i may just organise a 4th Bulk and get your stuff and anyone else who's interested in via the next shipment. Just let me know and ill put you in the interested list nod.gif Glad you find my quotes very reasonable, told ya Im not in it for profit nod.gif

That's not quite true, we actually can, as you can see from the scores of folks getting the Kindle's. There's also other sources of how books can be placed on the Kindle such as Project Guttenberg and the like.
Kindle with its wide range of support of formats will also allow you to view other types of prints, such as .mobi files and .pdf's notworthy.gif
So yep while officially we cant purchase Kindle and Kindle books here, there are legal ways to do so smile.gif

Heya buddy, sure thing!
This here is a scaled down picture, maybe not so good quality of my buddies Kindle 6" in red within its covers. Its placed next to a 9.7" Kindle i just COD'ed with Mizi earlier in the office today.
One is a picture of it opened with the Kindle DX on top while the other is it closed. Contrast may not be so cool since its taken with an iPhone 4 and the carry bag is also red.
Will try to get better pictures later.
I personally love the Burnt Orange colour smile.gif

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


You will see and from my experience with at least 3 covers, why I prefer the official one.
The hinges help lock the Kindle in place.


» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


That alone takes the cake since there is no unsightly extras on the Kindle when youre reading.
Next the soft felt cushion on a hard backing gives it the protection i need within a Leather case.
Finally, it makes the Kindle really REALLY feel like a true book.
I missed that with my other casings earlier, having the Kindle cover makes reading the Kindle with the book feel complete smile.gif
The 6" Kindle is really super nice and super light but being small sometimes you dont feel 'puas' reading until you get to hold it like below.
The official cover not having stuff drapped all over and around it also means that you dont have to content with elastics and flaps covering the Kindle screen while you read.

Notice the flap here ? I personally hate it when things get in the way, I also dont like to see elastics around my screen, i prefer to either use the Kindle
just on its own or with the official covers. And no i dont work for Amazon, i just can see the logic of why they chose the Official Casing as the Official one (and milking us on the price sad.gif )

user posted imageuser posted image

I fear that after time the flap may just remain covering the main face of the Kindle even when its opened. Amazon's official Kindle cover on the other hand does not have such issues smile.gif
Pictured below is the official cover with light by Amazon. Notice no unsightly elastics or flaps ? smile.gif

Hope these helps wink.gif

just got my kindle dx yesterday, thanks mr havocx...

This is my quick reviews:
1. The e-ink technology i must say is very nice with eyes, it is like a real paper, im quite surprised with that.

2.This is larger version (u can refer pic above) really nice when u read magazine (esp. pdf format) but the downside is it is not have retina display as apple tech use, so the word in certain pages/ column looks small, but dont worry u can focus on that with a bigger font

3. although kindle comes with black and white, but i has a better contrast,u can see clear different with black and white.

4. KIndle dx have a speaker at the bottom,i can say the sound quality not bad at all, even i set high on loudness the quality not deteriorate.

5. my kindle comes with free 3g, which is i not configure yet,i need me to register on amazon website (maybe other time lah) but tell u guys , it detect full bar!!! plus 3g icon appear..i wonder i suppose lock with at&t service...

from my point of views, i would like to share/suggests/ advice:

1. this is not ipad (any other tablet) so dont expect any fancy specs, it very basic,even whenever u play mp3, the songlists not showed up so u must skip one by one .

2. Since amazon dedicate this product solely for reading and light browsing so please dont compare with tablet, tablet is technology (and evolving) but e-reader is all about knowledge and reading.Fyi, i hv two boxes of mag,so now i can put into single gadget, with thinnest and lightest ever.,wo

3. The function and button need time to accustomed with,but its ok not that hard, suggest u read the instruction first...

4. Whoever buys this product should buys cover/case also,coz it will protect the kindle eventhough u using at home,it will collecting dust and smurf the screen.. mine like naked, look for forward a leather case

thanks, if u want more, try this link.

hi, i am interested in the Kindle as well, but I have 1 question. Can I directly put maybe a txt file into the Kindle without going though the uploading and downloading process?

Heya Akkarin,
Yes, as long as its a format Kindle supports, you can just copy and paste into the Kindle without having to go through the conversion process.
A little light reading for you to see the various formats that the Kindle can read without having to go through the conversion process.

14th or earlier will be the closing date. Remember Christmas is coming and I dont want the shipment to be delayed or lost in the tons of other Christmas stuff thats coming along.
Will perhaps start to request for payment by Friday and Saturday and Ill immediately place order and make payments to Amazon then.
Will also then paypal the cash for the shipment to my colleague for him to set up DHL. smile.gif

Heya buddy, check out your PM for the response. Just so you know, Ive checked the Hardcovers will only start shipping from Jan 16 or Feb 22nd onwards so even if placing the order now, and with lets say you go crazy and choose 2 day shipping you will only get it at the start of March since Amazon only starts shipping these either on Jan 16 or Feb 22nd onwards. No problems with the paperback though.

So let me help you out with that query storm04. Firstly, the only way to charge the Kindle is via the USB Type A/Micro-B port.
In short the Kindle's micro usb port. Thus yes it needs to be charged from the usb port.
Second part of the question would actually vary. Remember that the new Kindle 3 has an excellent 30 days battery life standby time and
if youre a hardcore reader who reads daily for about 4 hours a day the battery would start to drain by day 15.
That said and being one of the first few who got the Kindle in via my own bulk, I have only had to charge 1 of my Kindle once and yet to charge the other.

This was since it was out of the box, about 8-9 weeks ago. laugh.gif Amazing battery life no ?
That said I also think no one in my bulk would be able to answer how do we charge the battery since we've yet to do it notworthy.gif

Amazon has provided a micro usb cable that is 5 feet in length, very very long. That said, it can be charged from any source, PC or directly from the wall.
Using a lower frequency just means that you charge longer unlike the 60hz. Longer is 4 hours to full charge versus 3 hours on normal charge, i think.
To charge from the wall directly Amazon provides a wall adapter with a US head. You can instead use any other type of USB head plug to get you along.

Really though, and because of the technology it uses, even if you dont charge it fully itll last you for very long, ie perhaps a minimum of 2 days on 10 minutes charge time.
Besides even charging directly from USB power source there's differences, some USB only outputs 500ma, while there's others which provide up to 2000ma.
There's differences between notebook A's USB power output vs notebook B's power output.
Even more when considering most front USB's provides less power than motherboards back USB.
Considering all that differences and the Kindle being energy efficient as it is and one tough cookie, I think itll do just fine smile.gif

Hopefully that helps. nod.gif

Hello.

I would just like to ask:

1) Why doesn't Amazon ship Kindle to Malaysia?
2)Can we get the eBooks for the Kindle from the internet (Amazon)?
3)Are there any restricted titles? Been Looking through and am worried that I might not be able to obtain some books that i would want to read.

Sorry if these questions have been asked, but i couldn't find the desired answers.

Heya there buddy, sure let me help.
Firstly though, im sure you may have missed the answers even in the first page of the thread since most of the questions you asked were already answered
there as well as the last few posts before this. So here goes.

1) Why doesn't Amazon ship Kindle to Malaysia?
Well the easy answer is, I dont know. Its a question that is best answered by Amazon themselves and only from the Customer Service Of Amazon.
I wouldnt know their marketing strategy and plans. Who knows why they dont ship it to Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia but decides hey we can ship it to Vietnam. (they do by the way)
So for those who want what is currently the best eBook reader in the market, Kindle is the only way to go. Personally I guess is each book and ebook has distributorship and rights that can only be sold to
a certain country because of copyright laws and similar things on the country or region which is the reason why they decide, naah they will send Physical books but not ebooks over.

2)Can we get the eBooks for the Kindle from the internet (Amazon)?
Err yes but of course, thats the very reason you would choose Kindle now would it instead of other eBook readers like Kobo, Nook, Iriver and Ah Yam ereader. Kindle has specific access to the Amazon
bookstore and hence access to the titles. Bonus point would be how light and how long Kindle's battery last and the extra ability to read other ebook formats like .pdf and .mobi.
How to do it ? Well easy, its just a matter of research. nod.gif

3)Are there any restricted titles? Been Looking through and am worried that I might not be able to obtain some books that i would want to read.
In short that would defeat the reason why folks here buy the Kindle now would it ? Kindle however restricts the IP that downloads the ebooks must come from countries where Kindles can be shipped to.
Its really a simple matter of later to let Amazon know that youre technically in the US. I have personally purchased and paid for 35 ebooks and 20 free ebooks from Amazon myself.

Some titles are really restricted to countries because again of distribution and copyright issues. Ken Folliets ebook the Pillars Of The Earth, can be found in UK Kindle's store but if you try to download it
from the US you will get an error as it will not allow you to since the book has yet to get distribution in the US. I have it in my Kindle. So its not really a problem. There's space in the Kindle for 33000 ebooks,
there's always a way to get the ebooks on it. smile.gif

Maybe do this MirzA, you mentioned you read through the thread, I personally think there's a wealth of information to look at if you actually did. Another source would be the LYN Book Club where you will
find a sizeable group of folks already happily using the Kindle. From my Bulk alone, you'd see there's at least 25 happy campers smile.gif

Sure buddy, am gonna go a little futher even by providing you some actual sample books that I have.
Remember that Kindle may however only display pictures in 8 bit Black and White but with all details intact.

Pictures 1 - Tolkien Screesaver on my Kindle.
Pictures 2 - 5 are photo's from Travel Hong Kong an ebook I got when I was on Business Trip to Hong Kong.
Picture 6 is a comparison of the same page using an iPad vs Kindle.
Picture 7 - 9 are the sample pictures from your Digital Photography book, i got the ebook sample.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


My personal feel and looking at the same pictures on my iPad, for Picture specific iPad would win of course but reading the articles was also kinda difficult to me with the screen glare. Reading full stop will be Kindle. It doesnt do so well with pictures. The good thing though is that if you have the Kindle, then iPad or Iphone, you can do the reading via Kindle and from the iPhone and iPad Kindle app to look at the pictures in more detail if needed.

Some folks may not even need the physical Kindle too, just would suffice with the Kindle app. I found the glare and battery life on my Apple devices not comfortable for my reading unfortunately.

Hope this helps!

Sure buddy, no worries, let me know if youre interested, ill let you know and put you in my Bulk 5 interested list.
Dont worry no deposits and payments yet, until BULK 4 is completed.

Whispersync ? There's no reason to. Kindle directly syncs to your Amazon account. You will only want to use whispersync if you would want Kindle to help convert an ebook format it cannot read to one that it can.
But there's already so many free apps online that can do that for you. You dont have to wait a delayed one day or a few hours to get it into your Kindle.
You could convert it and then using USB copy and paste the new converted ebook into your Kindle smile.gif
Easy peasy.

Ah that, my bad.
Yes sure! Actually if you see in the post before where you asked on the Digital Photography book, the sample of the writeup with pictures on Hong Kong, that IS whispersync in action.
Gadgets I have are :

2 x Kindle
Iphone 4G
Ipad
Iphone 3GS

All these items are registered to one account. Its also the maximum registration of devices that can carry per user account. This means that if im reading an ebook on the iphone, I stop and then take out the Kindle, whispersync it,
it will show the current page where I was. So will all the other devices if you sync it.
What if 2 devices are reading different things ? Say Im reading on Hong Kong on my Ipad and wife is reading Canada on her Iphone 3GS.
No biggie, if i then take the Kindle out, it will show the last page where im reading on the Ipad of Hong Kong and wife on Canada on the Iphone 3GS if I sync it smile.gif
Similarly, if wife then decided to sync her Iphone 3GS, she will find the last page where im reading on Hong Kong.

Not really confusing, key word is when we sync. nod.gif

Hope that helps!

Moonflown, would you mind asking the queries via the thread ? Itll help with similar questions other folks may have as well. I mean so I dont have to repeat the queries You understand right, if i reply all queries via PM, i may have to repeat it over and over

Can you also later paste your query on the thread all the same ? Ill reply your query here too and paste the answer on the main thread later.

======================================
Answer from bro havocx

Nope, havent tried.
Reason : Dont have a reason to. Amazon Kindle takes PDF files directly without the need for conversion. Unless of course you somehow want to convert .PDF to .mobi. Ill need to try that out and report back. But really, Kindle has a capacity of 3GB free space for MP3 and other ebook files. PDF files display as how it is, only in black or white.

======================================

Yea I know but some pdf are way too small to be viewed with pdf format directly without conversion. They need zooming and scrolling around =)

Heh Moonflown,
You only added the answer but not the query, now folks dont know the question. Haha the question for the above is
Hi I wanted to ask have you tried using Amazon conversion of PDF files? I have a lot of e-books in pdf formats and some of it are as large as 55MB. I wonder is it possible to convert and read it page by page in Kindle rather than scrolling around

Answer is above.

To your 2nd question :
Hmm cant say I have the chance yet perhaps, maybe you can send me a sample PDF, ill upload it to mine and capture the picture out from it. That way, we'll both know. You have email address, send the PDF there and ill work it out smile.gif

Hey hey, no worries, sorry for the delay with the reply, work caught up with me. So here goes.
Im gonna give you the example of first of what happens if you copy a book that you have legally bought from Amazon into a Kindle that has an account that didnt purchase the book in the first place.

Remember I purchased Travel To Hong Kong ? My Kindle is on the right vs colleagues Kindle on the left.
Copied all the files from my Kindle into the other Kindle, the error will show as Picture 2. Amazon ensures that books you have rightfully purchased cannot be shared with other Kindles. Unless of course the other Kindle is also registered to your account.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Your sample book, Pic 3-8 copied it in directly as PDF
Pic 3 shows how it displays by default from the 55mb file. It may be a little too small for your eyes.
Pic 4 shows me increasing the size of the PDF.
Pic 5 shows the same pic like pic 3 but a focus area.
Pic 6 shows the 150% increase in the focus but this is where you found it troublesome to scroll around
Pic 7 shows an alternative i did. Instead of increasing focus, i just changed orientation.
Pic 8 shows the alternate orientation with the fonts being nice and big. This way the left or right button are the only buttons you need to use to turn the pages, nice and easy. And dont worry not all PDF files get small fonts, it depends on how the originals were.
Pic 9 shows the PDF file converted to .mobi, .prc. Horrible and cant be enlarged. Easier to just paste the PDF in. smile.gif

I have loads of eReader books (.pdb format) and Mobipocket books (.mobi and .prc fomats). Unfortunately, these are protected because it uses the device PID.

My questions are:-
1. Can Palm Books in .pdb formats be converted to Kindle Compatible books at all? if so, how?
2. I know that Kindle can read .mobi and .prc books, but how do I get it to open on the Kindle - or is it possible to find out the Kindle 3's PID?

I actually tried the old site but the Kindle 3 PID has an asterisks in it which does not register on the Mobipocket site - basicaly doesn't bloody worklah!

Oh great Kindle Grandmaster! Hope you can help little grasshopper here.

Oy lil grasshopper, am no Grand Master. Am also still learning in this great vast world of ebooks.
So here goes.
These are some sample books in question I have to test it out.

user posted image

Copied all of them into the Kindle, youll also notice that I did a conversion to the .pdb file. Please ignore the book names, haha they are just random ones I scored of the net.
To your queries :

1. Yes they possibly can. However not all comes with excellent results as you will see in the pictures below.
I used the Auto Kindle Ebook Converter, best one so far but that also depends on the quality of the .pdb book you have.
2. This really is a no brainer. .mobi and .prc files copy straight into the documents folder of your Kindle and youre golden, they read beautifully smile.gif

Pic 1 - Dermamobi Book.prc shows in Kindle as ABC Converter
Pic 2 shows that for some PDB's you get messy results of conversion. Unfortunately for this one it was converted from .pdb to .html to .prc
Pic 3 is a pure .prc book that's copied inside and opened, which is the Wits and Beaux of Society

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

In conclusion simply, .prc and .mobi files can be copied in directly without conversion and itll show and display in the Kindle.
.pdb files will need to go through conversion although it may not all be successful.
Hope that helped!

Thanks for asking your query here buddy, so here goes :


1. How do you purchase kindle books? Buy gift card way? or you own a US credit card? Any step by step guide biggrin.gif
Using our normal Credit Card. It doesnt matter that you dont have a US billing address, as long as the billing address is valid.
Youre recommended to have a US based address though. Or you can do it like how some of the other forummers do it, using a Malaysian based Credit Card you purchase the Amazon
Gift Card. From there youre golden.

I do have my own US based Credit Card but because of the loopholes ill have to go to making payments to it, I would usually just use my Malaysian based Credit Card.
Step by Step ? Easy.
Register your Malaysian based Credit Card on Amazon.
Put your Malaysian based billing address.
Make sure you also have a US address.
Purchase your books!


2. Why would you need to use calibre since kindle 3 supports pdf natively?
I dont ?
Never mentioned I used Calibre. Dont actually know what youre speaking of ? Perhaps you were reading the guide for Kindle 2 ?
Kindle 2 does not natively support pdf hence the workaround. For Kindle 3 its just a copy and paste.
Never used or know of Calibre too.


3. Can you provide the link to the see the Official Kindle Leather Covers? I need to select my cover too.
Here's the link. Amazon Kindle Covers.
You get to choose your colours too from here. I really recommend the original covers simply because they fit the Kindle and I know the exact size they come in.

A little unfortunate lesson I learnt about Volumetric weight. In one of the orders, it looks like there is one Decal for the Kindle, its pretty light probably a few grams. Maybe less than 150grams in weight.
Amazon packaged it in such a way that it was packed big, as in wide. Measurements were 18" x 7 " x 7".
Divided by 305 which is the standard measurement DHL uses gets you 2.98KGs! Ouch !

So although its only 150grams in dead weight, for shipping its counted as 2kgs!

So in short, yes there are also Belkins, Roocases and a few others also competing on the Amazon market to be a Kindle Case.
They may seem cheaper by USD 7 - USD 13 but really how they are packaged makes it non worthwhile since they will be packed big unlike the Official Kindle Case.
If youre in the US they are cheaper but to ship them over, might as well go for the Original Kindle Case.

Thank you for the clarifying! Very much appreciated!

Step by Step ? Easy.
Register your Malaysian based Credit Card on Amazon.
Put your Malaysian based billing address.
Make sure you also have a US address. ->> Why would I need the US address? since I can use Malaysia credit card?
Purchase your books!

However, I am still unclear about the purchasing kindle book. You brought up that we can use Malaysia credit card, I thought Amazon will not allow us to purchase if we using local CC instead US CC. A lot tutorial used VPN as well? Do you use it?

Thanks again!!!

Amazon uses 2 ways of determining your location. Payment method is not one of them.
Thats the reason why there's no problem even if you use a Malaysian bases credit card, US based Credit Card or even one of those Postpaid Credit Cards.

First location method is the mailing address. This is to ensure that youre residing in the US.
Second one is more discreet and may hit you sometimes but rarely. This is via your IP address that youre giving out to see if youre in the US.

Reason for this location detection.
Some books on Amazon has restricted copyright distribution ie the book may only be sold in the US and Japan but not UK and Russia (for instance).
Amazon will then need someway to determine if the person receiving the book is in the countries it can be sold to or otherwise.
First choice is off course always your address hence the need for the US based address.
Remember again, payment method does not even need for you to have a US based address or US based Credit Card.

Its a little tricky when it comes to ebooks. More often than not Amazon just relies on the US based address. Politically sentitive materials for instance however may
go through a little more scrutiny, they will want to make sure the IP address buying them is from the US.
Of course with that, you can always use the various methods available to show that your IP is from the US.

I have a US based IP that I can use at home.
In the office my company transmit a US based IP so I can purchase books easily without going through IP loopholes.

Tell you what, let me know once you come across problems purchasing ebooks via Amazon because of IP limitation, I'll pass you the links and software that I use. I don't foresee this being a big problem for Kindle users but for those who has it and has gotten their Kindle via my bulk, just let me know and I'll definitely help ya out via PM smile.gif

From the various blogs I've read, even if you use a Malaysian IP to purchase your gift cards or your e-books, Amazon will just ask you to confirm your address. Then you confirm as US. That's it. It's more of an annoyance.

If it ever becomes worse than that, you can always take precautions by using Hotspot Shield. Look it up. There will be annoyances and problems, but I haven't come across anyone who had to throw away their Kindle because of the Malaysia limitation issue.

David101, youre just spot on! Glad you did some research earlier, always a good thing. I can tell and you can see from the progress of this thread that really the US address and IP requirements are just mere nuisances, most folks are able to get through just fine without having to have to jump through hoops to get books which are either US specific only or UK specific only, and its just not Malaysia facing that limitation, Kindle does not ship to any Asian country, even Singapore except for Vietnam (strange but true), so you might think that Vietnam folks would not get the issue of IP and location limitation. In reality Vietnam gets hit with it too, so really almost eveyone in the world faces the same problem but in reality its not a problem at all smile.gif

Package estimated to reach me in 5 working days. That will mean by Christmas Eve, ie 24th December morning.
Ill need to be sure though so ill check it out. At this time, its already left DHL processing facility, its going to go to Hong Kong for further processing, tax and so forth.
There will be no update until its reached Hong Kong. From my experience its 2 working days in Hong Kong before it comes over
to Kuala Lumpur. Itll reach Subang Airport for final checks, taxes and processing and should reach me latest as I mentioned on the 24th.

For updates, you check my PM Updates as well as the first page in Bulk Status, you'll find most updated information I know will be there too.

Will send you the quote for the Kindle 3 case with light via PM fluene smile.gif

Yes of course! Kindle's are not classified as Computers, they are classified as Electronics hence will be taxed as such.
The Kindle covers are Leather covers. It doesnt matter if they are synthetic leather or real leather, as long as the invoice for the shipping
shows the details of the shipment, ill get taxed on the leather items. Having said that my question back to you would be
Why worry ? Your payment has already covered shipping and taxes for the item your ordered for taxes out of US, taxes into Malaysia, shipping and fuel surcharges
oh and shipping within Malaysia via courier too.
The price quoted is only possible if its done via a bulk. A single shipment will hit you hard, if you see from the DHL website smile.gif
So ive got All bases covered. Fair right ? smile.gif

Thank you very much for the COD this morning. You are the Santa Claus of the day but Christmas comes early this year (at least for me). He he!!

Still trying to work out on how to use the Kindle. Got some questions here though (sorry if this is already mentioned in the thread).

1) How can we download /purchase e books from Amazon if we do not have US add or IP? Read somewhere that it can be done through VPN but I don't know how to do it.

2) Once we added the ebooks to our collection, they are still listed in the homepage. If we remove them, will it be removed from our collections as well?

I see that there are lots to uncover from the Kindle. It will take time but it is also important to use it at its full potential. If not, it would be like having two horses pulling a ferrari.

Thanks!!

2) Is there a way to e-mail books from Calibre to Kindle when the Kindle is off or no wifi available? I keep getting error message saying sending fail because Kindle does not respond (no wifi mah)

Sorry for the late response, the late night outs and being Santa Claus got to me, was and still am down with a bout of fever right now,
Right let me help you out a little here. And youre right they have been answered in the thread so far. As a quick reference here goes
Not all books need US IP's, why are the US IP's needed ? Here's the reason, post 174.
How do you purchase ebooks from Amazon ? (PDF's, .mobi files and other formats that free can just be directly downloaded) - Find your answers here,post 188
Why do we still need US address if we already put our billing address as Malaysia ? - Here's your answer, Post 190

So to your questions if its not already answered above,
1. How to purchase ? Easy.
Step by Step ? Easy.
Register your Malaysian based Credit Card on Amazon.
Put your Malaysian based billing address. Must be the same as your official Credit Card Billing Address.
Make sure you also have a US address. How to get it ? Make google your friend. Just so you know although mine points to the White House whistling.gif Im staying at Equine Park only laugh.gif
Purchase your books!

2. Im not clear on this question, which homepage ? The Kindle ? If its the Kindle then here is how it is.
Anything that goes through your Amazon Account will still be in your Amazon account until you physically delete it from your account.
So lets say for instance via your Amazon account youve downloaded 2000 books. You find that you have too many (ie 2000 books) in your Kindle and delete half of them via your Kindle,
youd still be able to recover all of them again on your next sync. They will just be in your archive. So you will now have 1000 books displayed and another 1000 in your archive ready to be
redownloaded and resync'ed again to your Kindle.

Oh also please check the first post for the Flowchart Cartoon smile.gif

If its the free PDF files or Mobi files that youve downloaded, these are not synched with your Amazon account since they are not official books from Amazon.com.
For these, if you manually delete them from your Kindle unit directly, they will be physically deleted as well. You will need to add them in again via the USB cable.

Hope these helps!

Kindle works right out of the box buddy smile.gif Dont worry about wrongly registering the unit or anything. Its not as sentitive as an iphone.
Its very simple, you first need an Amazon.com account.
Next just register your Kindle in Managing your account.
Next on Amazon just search for the free ebooks or paid ones.
You are good to go! Let me know if you have any further queries.

Oh also do read my first post, some queries already answered there as well with links to free ebooks and stuff. smile.gif

Right missed your question here since i was replying to your question earlier.
1. Ebooks delivered to your Kindle from Amazon account is free. Ebooks from other sites should be copied manually into the Kindle. Some books may not display correctly hence you want Amazon to convert them for you, hence you then should use Amazon's service in which there is a fee for that. But there is no need to go through the trouble now is there, since you can use online converters for free just by googling it and then copying the files directly into your Kindle using your USB cable.

2. This is the second question involving Calibre. In truth i have never and may not use Calibre at all. Since you can already copy manually files into your Kindle.
But the answer to that is clear now isnt it ? Can your computer receive new email if its not connected to LAN, 3G or Wifi ? Can your phone receive SMS if there is no sim card ? nod.gif

Personally for me, a light reader and my wife a heavy reader (meaning daily minimum usage of 2 hours with the Kindle)
ive not come across such problems. If you also notice in my past bulks Ive also taken some extra orders for myself,
those are for office mates, darqfyre is one of them and out of the 6 thats with them only darqfyre's own Kindle unit had a reboot suddenly only once before,
that was about 3 weeks ago, never happened since and he didnt think much of it till the issue came to light.

Havent had any queries on that from the other past buyers though smile.gif

Ya, I'm just a bit concerned. The feedback on Amazon for that product is also mixed. Apparently, some people got it really bad. If it screws up the Kindle, I won't be able to return it. So better not waste the money on that cover. On eBay, you can get one for around RM30, so I suppose I'll go with that.

Yep, actually if youre going for slip on's even Lowyat has slip on cover selling for RM25. I bought mine of Amazon earlier 2 models, the RooCase and Belkin.
After that while waiting for my case I have a few other type of cases. Went with the original cover because it looked more 'kemas' than the rest and I wanted the book feeling.
Yeah some folks got it really bad, luckily no one else is in the same boat here.

Actually you will be able to return it. Since i have the original invoice purchase.
Amazon is good that way that they will accept the return of the case irrespective of the date you bought it. However you will have to ship it to US on your own.
For a refund that is.
For a replacement, the old one still needs to be shipped back, the new one will need to be paid to be shipped back to you.
A little more on spending unfortunately.

Havocx - sorry for the delay on posting but thanks for being so efficient in delivering my items the same day you received it.

To say the least your service is extremely good, wonderfully helpful, very prompt with responses and with a smile too! Every Malaysian should take a leave from you.

Thanks for the service and you are one Vendor that I will happily deal with and recommend to anyone anytime.

Cheers!

Not really. If we send e-mail, the sender needs to be connected to the internet but the recipient need not be online at the same time right? If we send sms, the sender need only press send but the recipient (taking that the phone is off) will receive the sms once they switch on the phone.

Remember you wanted the item to be in the Kindle ?
Its the same concept. The recipient, (Kindle, phone, email, sms) all needs to be connected to the internet.
In your example above, the recipient not being online, how will he get the email ?
The sms you sent, if there is no sim card on in the recipient's phone how will he get the sent sms?
The Kindle, since youre synching from the computer, if there is no wifi how will it get the information ?
This post if im writing it on notepad, not connected to the internet to post it on this forum, how will you see it ?
This post too, if i have written it and posted it on the forum, how will you read it if you have no connection to the internet, no wifi, no 3g and no data connection.
(Not counting of course looking over your friends machine)
I think im getting old, as Im not getting your argument. rclxub.gif

Your item will still be in your profile if you download it from the Amazon store to your Amazon profile.
It will sync with your Kindle only when and if you are connected with Wifi.
Calibre by default is not something that is specifically designed for Kindle as its an open source application designed to work with multiple eReaders.
I suggest using only Amazon to sync.
For Calibre support, then im guessing you best try the Calibre forum since im not sure how many folks are actually using Calibre.
How about trying it first, then if you come across problems only then post your query, its hard to work on concepts now is it nod.gif

Hey, how do I make a "collection" to put the books i'm currently reading into the folder? I tried to follow the instructions in http://e-bookvine.com/how-to-create-collec...ders-on-kindle/ but whenever I try to "create a collection" in the home menu screen, the option is greyed out and I cant select it.

Please and thanks.

To say the least your service is extremely good, wonderfully helpful, very prompt with responses and with a smile too! Every Malaysian should take a leave from you.

Thanks for the service and you are one Vendor that I will happily deal with and recommend to anyone anytime.

Cheers!

Have you created an Amazon account and synced to it ?
I have just tried on the 2 Kindle units I have here, in fact, creating the collection is the first time im hearing about it,
so i just went to your link, followed exactly the instructions and it worked just fine.

Folks, really there is no need. Trust me.
Only one account is needed. Two addresses, one US address, one Malaysian address, same as credit card address.
No VPN. No dual account.
VPN is good is you have it, if you dont, Hotspot shield, other proxy websites will do just fine.

Dual account will only be needed if youre gonna be buying an Amazon Gift card sending from one account to another.
Even then, its only the US mailing address that is important.

Please ignore the reflective screen and those air bubbles you see on the screen. That's due to the plastic on the screen that I am supposed to peel off. But I don't want to peel it off yet. laugh.gif

I'm very happy with my Kindle and it's always the last thing I hold before I go to bed since I got it 2 days ago. lol.

hi
i got a lot of questions, hehe

1. the RM630 is for kindle wifi or kindle 3g+wifi? how much is the other one? is the 3g version worth it?
2. to buy ebooks from amazon, just register an american address? even if the address is non-existent? or do i have to hide my ip or something? is there a clearcut guide? how about the amazon card? how does it work?
3. where can i download ebooks that i already own it in hardcopy?
4. where do you COD? just to know, because i do notice you prefer courier

thanks!

Right missed your question here since i was replying to your question earlier.
1. Ebooks delivered to your Kindle from Amazon account is free. Ebooks from other sites should be copied manually into the Kindle. Some books may not display correctly hence you want Amazon to convert them for you, hence you then should use Amazon's service in which there is a fee for that. But there is no need to go through the trouble now is there, since you can use online converters for free just by googling it and then copying the files directly into your Kindle using your USB cable.

2. This is the second question involving Calibre. In truth i have never and may not use Calibre at all. Since you can already copy manually files into your Kindle.
But the answer to that is clear now isnt it ? Can your computer receive new email if its not connected to LAN, 3G  or Wifi ?  Can your phone receive SMS if there is no sim card ? nod.gif

*
From what I know is that Amazon only charges conversion fee if you're using 3G to receive their converted files. Else it would be free from what I found =)

Right, here's a lot of answers back for ya smile.gif

1. The RM630 is only for Kindle Wifi. Kindle 3G+Wifi is RM850. Whether its worth it or not, it depends on your judgment. My personal feel is that the Wifi version is sufficient for use. The 3G
mode is awesome if youre going to be doing a lot of surfing and syncing of books while on the road. Having a Kindle however would mean that your main focus should be on reading and
surfing can take a back seat, besides, in that tiny Kindle youre gonna have about 33000 books you can carry with you, more than enough im sure. 3G is a nice feature if you wanna
do some extra checks on your blogs or twitter accounts while say...on the beach smile.gif

2. The address needs to be a US based address with Postal code. Be creative. Mine's the White House, my wife's is a Pizza Parlour in New Orleans. You dont have to 'create' one there's already
thousands of address available. IP mask may sometimes be needed, a lot of programs and online IP masking sites can help you with that. In most occasions you dont need to. Yes there are
clearcut guides, a few posts just before yours have them, very very easy to use. The Amazon Card is a Prepaid card that you can use not only to buy Kindle books but also to buy other stuff
from Amazon, how it works is just that you buy it for a value (or have someone buy it for yo), you now have say USD50 worth of Amazon Dollars (which is equivalent to USD50), you then
buy anything from Amazon.

3. Hardcopy books and ebooks are 2 different things. Ownership of a Hardcopy does not automatically entitle you to a free ebook.
They are in different copyrights. For some ebooks versions of hardcopy they can be found for free
of the internet. Google is a GREAT friend. For some versions of the Hardcopy however you have to purchase the ebook. For instance I have 'The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo' hardcopy from Amazon,
yet I dont have it for Kindle, to get it ill need to purchase the ebook again.

4. I only COD at my office which is near KLCC or Equine Park, other nearby locations may be discussed. For me to make my way to Klang or Rawang or even PJ, its really out of my way and toll and fuel takes a hit on me,
unless of course I was heading that way in the first place. If you notice for the last bulk though, I COD'ed with everyone at their location,
but that's just me being Santa for this month smile.gif

The 3G sim card is embedded in the 3G Kindle with AT&T. Not having a 3G Kindle unit myself, am not sure if that works even if we dont have an account with AT&T.
From my bulk i only know of ailinchia, mileseven and Mizi having Kindle 3G units. Maybe they can help ?

Heya buddy, to your query, yes it's possible to create collections within the Kindle without Wifi but it will not sync with your online Amazon collection. So let's say I'm in the middle of the sea and am doing some reading, I find that my ebooks are everywhere in the Kindle and would like to do an arrangement of it, I can.

It will not however sync with the online account. Thus if you so happen to unregister your Amazon account on your Kindle and registers a friends account on it when you have wifi (to read your friends downloaded ebooks), when you return to your own account later, you will find that your ebooks are still messy like before.

If you sync your collection via wifi though and still do the above, when you return to your Kindle later with your own account, you'll find that your ebooks will just be like how they are the first time you put the collection together smile.gif

Have your Kindle been registered to an Amazon account buddy ? Strange, im trying it out on my Kindle without Wifi and its working.
Could you also check your Kindle's Firmware (in settings, bottom right) if its showing Kindle 3.01 ?
The only difference my Kindle may have over yours is that I have a screen saver hack installed and Ive already synced it a few times over Wifi.
Would you be able to try that out first ?
Perhaps can anyone also try to create a collection and report back in ? biggrin.gif

Hmm, my kindle has been registered in amazon, the firmware isnt 3.01, its 3.0.3.. happy.gif.. Ill try to apply a screensaver hack.. I assume you got this from mobileread? And um I'm going to my friend's house for a christmas party on sunday and she has wifi coverage so I'll try it then..

All I have to do when I have wifi is go to settings > registration, correct?

*EDIT*

Fixed, all I did was download Kindle Collection Manager, created some collections then made a full restart, works brilliantly now.. drool.gif

Youre way ahead mate. Before you go to your friends home, just make sure you see your Kindle in your Amazon account too.

hi,

I'm drooling over the the Kindle 3 and am so darn tempted by the thought of having lots of books in my pocket before CNY!

However, I am kinda worried about this issue - that the lettering comes off the keypad. See this link: http://www.amazon.com/tag/kindle%20accesso...=TxLIKN3FQA7CRL

(it's under amazon's "Kindle Accessory Community" - discussion ; in case the link doesnt work)

If the lettering rubs off, I am worried i have to return the unit to US and it seems the replacement units are refurbished units and not new ones.

What do you think Havocx? or has Amazon resolved this issue already and what i'm reading is out of date?

Thanks

Hmm it doesnt seem to be out of date since the posts was just in November. I got mine in about that time. So far though mine and wife's seems okay, thats for a 2 month old Kindle.
Its probably a risk that you might have to consider, a small one when youre having the Kindle. Also, I dont think you'll need to be using too much of the keys anyway since to read the Kindle,
there are dedicated buttons around the issue. It seems too that its only hitting a few rogue units.
Im sure if it was a widespread problem the folks getting the first few batches would alert us on the Forum already.

Awesome questions smile.gif
Right so for free ebooks, depends on what version of free do you mean.
Free ebooks say off the net from Project Gutenberg and so forth, they can be directly uploaded into the Kindle via
the supplied microusb cable. There's some folks here who uses a Software called Calibre too. So that's fine.
Free ebooks on Amazon, only some of those will need a US address, most of the free ones there (and there's many of them)
are copyright free meaning that they are not limited to US only sale. Some free ebooks there though may still need you to have US
address simply because the book was not meant to be distributed outside US. nod.gif

Audiobooks, as long as they are in mp3 format, Kindle reads them beautifully with its two speakers at the back.
Quite loud too if i do say so myself smile.gif

Adding on to your question, yep I have loads of stuff from Project Gutenberg on my Kindle.
As long as its in .mobi file which most books are, they transfer just nicely into the Kindle via the supplied microusb cable.

I already have quite a few ebooks and audiobooks downloaded in my notebook.

Can u help me ie give me step by step instructions how to transfer these from my notebook into the Kindle3?

If i need a US address for books, how do i go about it? I would either be using a giftcard or credit card for the ebooks.

Yep its really simple. You have it on your laptop already, thats not IT illiterate smile.gif
Connecting the Kindle via the MicroUSB will bring you the Kindle as an external drive.

What you just need to do is to copy your already existing ebooks, pdf's into the document folder.
For MP3's ie audiobooks there is also a folder for that smile.gif

For the US address, its been covered a few posts back actually.
Dont worry about the US address, mine is the white house.
Wife's one is a random US truck stop (last i remember).
Amazon needs a US address to verify youre in the US to sell you certain books. (for copyright)
Thats the only reason why there is a requirement for a US address.
So lets say you visit amazon.co.uk and you find you cant buy certain books, same reason,
copyrighted to only be sold in the UK. Hence you cant purchase the UK ebook unless you have a UK address.

For payments, you can register a Malaysian Credit card and it must point to your Malaysian billing address.
Thats of course for payment verification.

Err no reason to shout smile.gif
A .OGG audio file is a file which contains audio samples compressed with the Vorbis audio encoding algorithm, which is a very good, open source audio codec.
An .ogg file can also be converted to .mp3
That said your audiobooks will work smile.gif You dont have to get a Kindle 3 to try. You can convert one audiobook now and play it as mp3.
If its acceptable and to your liking then youre golden smile.gif

I see that this bulk is closing today so I hope I'm not too late yet. Before I join the bulk(if I can), just a couple of questions. Does the Kindle 3 support Chinese ebooks? And how much is the total for a Kindle 3 Wifi only with a leather cover? Thanks hope I'm not too late for this.

If lets say I want to transfer a certain document or files which are of compatible format with the Kindle such as PDF or TXT from my computer, can the Kindle connect to a laptop or a computer through 2.0 USB input?

Yes sir.
The Kindle connects via a Micro Usb cable (supplied in the package), its quite long too. The Kindle will also work as an external storage.
Just a few posts back there is a screenshot showing how the Kindle looks connected to the PC.

Statues ? Sure, yes I can.
However if these are particularly heavy, perhaps I may suggest this be on a Bulk on its own.
It depends how fast these can be shipped over to my friends address, ie reaching the same time as the Kindle's to ensure
it will arrive at the same time and not to hold up the main shipment.
Remember also they will be shipped via DHL or Fedex Courier. Ill let you know on the quotes.
Let me know the links via PM. smile.gif

So the answer is actually a yes and no.
Randomly no. So lets say youre reading and suddenly on the TV comes out the recipe for Curry Puffs and you want
to take it down, you cant. Nevertheless lets say youre reading a particular book, and a passage in the book says 'Go Forth and Multiply'.
You like the phrase and you want to mark it and add your notes on it, you can. If youre note so happens to be the Curry Puff recipe,
that is fine too. So the next time you want to see the Curry Puff recipe, you will need to pull out the book you were reading,
go to the passage that says Go Forth and Multiply and you will get the recipe.

Remember though the basic function of a Kindle, its an eBook reader. It will not have the snaziness of a laptop nor an iPad.
It however performs its basic function impressively well smile.gif

On the flipside, you could copy the text file of your notes and then later open it up in the Kindle that will work just fine too smile.gif

Unfortunately for now what I know at this time is that there is none for systematically storing. The mp3 playback is currently purely an additional
experimental feature of the Kindle. You could name your files with a number in front ie

1. Lady Gaga - Pokerface.mp3
2. Scorpions - Still Loving You.mp3

perhaps as an optional way forward.
As an ebook reader the mp3 playback is more to enchancing the reading experience of the users.
Probably with the developments going on, on the next release of the Kindle 3 Firmware, a better playback feature will come along nod.gif

user posted image

To adjust the volumes though, thats much simpler,

user posted image

Next to the Green Power button, underneath the Kindle, you will find the Volume Buttons, + for higher and - for lower volumes.
And it can get loud with the 2 speakers at the back. smile.gif
Hope that helped!

Excellent queries, let me help you with them.

about the pdf files in kindle, i found that the font not adjustable, only able to zoom, am i correct?
You're absolutely correct. Now think of it, would you be able to increase the font displaying on your PC when youre reading .pdf files ?
Highly unlikely you would be able to. You would however be able to zoom in on the .pdf file to view them. Its the same concept really,
.pdf's are seen by various devices as another version of a picture, hence unless youre using Adobe Acrobat Suite, you wouldnt
be able to adjust the size of the fonts in a .pdf file on a computer nor the Kindle.

if i convert the pdf into kindle format.. will it work perfectly on reading and displaying such that the font is adjustable ?
Similar response to your query above. If its one where there are pictures or different sizes fonts in various formats like the one below

Sample One
user posted image

Sample Two
user posted image

Even after conversion, so font size changes cannot be done, simply, because just like in your computer, they are viewed as as Pictures,
instead of purely words. The conversion software that are currently available in the market, for any ebook readers will not be able to distinguish between
words and graphics.

Nevertheless, if its purely words formatted proper the conversion program will get it.

Sample Three
user posted image

The page above, the one on the left's font may be adjustable in the Kindle, however the second page, will not be as there are
graphics inserted within.

how about the pictures in pdf file after convert?
as u know, many pdf ebooks can be download illegally from website :-p
The are many legal PDF ebooks out there. Lets not talk about illegal stuff. For Pictures in PDF they display just fine.
Just like in the computer only in Black and White.

PDF files copy directly into the Kindle, no conversion needed. Actually the query is already covered before.
The answer is yes, Check Out This Post 254 for some sample pics.

Hopefully that's answered your query, let me know if you have more smile.gif

If you intend to just buy the Kindle without the other accessories, you can do so. If you would like to choose your own accessories, you can go to this Kindle Accessories Page on Amazon.com and see what are the items that you intend to purchase.

Basically, you buy the items that you want as each item comes as individual unit.
Amazon does not bundle the Kindle, the cover and screen protector all together.

p.s. Happy New Year to you too havocx!

No worries, so lets cover your query. Ive received your files, but they seem perhaps corrupted. Am only
able to open the first one on my machine hence thats the only one I converted. Perhaps Ill send you my email address later for you
to directly send over to me. So here it is :

This is the sample file of .chm youve sent over, opened in my PC.

user posted image

Converting it with the Auto Kindle Converter
you get it changed to .mobi format, one that Kindle reads.
Picture below is of the page highlighted in the PC.

Here's a picture of the same page but with a change in the font.
For .mobi files you can manually change the font without the need to zoom in.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


To the next question you have, its easy, just like how shy8629 says and also posted on the first page,
You can choose any items you want from the Amazon store, even if youre not buying a Kindle unit,
it can be Anything from Amazon
Ill quote you a price for it to come along in my Kindle bulk. Once payment is collected, itll be ordered off from Amazon,
shipped to my colleagues home, collected with the other stuff there and sent over to Malaysia. On the same day,
it reaches my hand, it will be prepared for shipping or COD with you smile.gif

Got it buddy, am having trouble with it still though, perhaps its because its in a little different
format than the first one. Not being able to read chinese too is a problem.
Would you mind sending me a couple more samples to my email address?
That way ill have more files available for me to work on.
Just Chinese ones, will do or even Japanese, Korean ones if you read them.

Zad,
Using the files youve sent, Ive converted them on my machine and displayed them in the Kindle.
Just like PDF's they cant be rearranged, it looks a little funny but im guessing its because I dont have Chinese fonts installed
in my computer, hence when they are being displayed, it will look as how it will look on my machine.
These are .chm files converted to .mobi files.

I'm worried about the size of Kindle. I thought it was just slightly bigger than a phone and I could just slip it in and out of my pocket whenever I feel like it but it turned out to be bigger than I thought. So my next question is to all the Kindlers out there:

How do you bring your Kindle about as so not to lose it or to be an easy target for snatch thieves?

Also a few doubts to clear my head:
1.) Can you jump pages in Kindle?
2.) Can you bookmark a page in Kindle? If so, only one at a time or several?
3.) Can you read manga's or marvel comics in Kindle?

I'm worried about the size of Kindle. I thought it was just slightly bigger than a phone and I could just slip it in and out of my pocket whenever I feel like it but it turned out to be bigger than I thought. So my next question is to all the Kindlers out there:

How do you bring your Kindle about as so not to lose it or to be an easy target for snatch thieves?

Also a few doubts to clear my head:
1.) Can you jump pages in Kindle?
2.) Can you bookmark a page in Kindle? If so, only one at a time or several?
3.) Can you read manga's or marvel comics in Kindle?
*
Youve got urm..very interesting questions. whistling.gif
So right, this 'Kindler' will help you out.

Lets first look at your worry. Remember, the Kindle is an ebook reader, hence for it to be one,
it should mimic and make the experience similar to that of a book. Not a lot of books will be 'a little bigger'
than a phone though and even if there's one, itll make reading that book, with its tiny font, to be maybe a little too much for the eyes.

How to not lose the Kindle and not make it an easy snatch theft target?
It would be the same care really that you would do to take care of your phone and your wallet, even your laptop.
You wouldnt want to be walking while reading now would you.
Who knows what other dangers would be out there other than just being a target for snatch thiefs.

That said though, it DOES fit into your back pocket smile.gif

That's a picture of the Kindle without the Official Amazon cover into my back pocket.
It also fits into my front pocket. Its small and slim enough to be very tough but very light at the same time.
Notice the picture on the Kindle.

This now would be the various ways I would use to keep my Kindle safe.
The brown bag is mine, for my Kindle. The red is the wife's handbag.
If the bag goes missing, so will my Ipad, wallet, phone and various other stuff inside.
If my wife's bag goes missing, well...who in the world knows what's in a ladies handbag anyway smile.gif

To your other queries :
1.) Can you jump pages in Kindle?
Yes you can, easily with the buttons on the left and right as well as directing the Kindle to jump 10 to even 300 pages ahead.
Or any page for that matter.

2.) Can you bookmark a page in Kindle? If so, only one at a time or several?
You can bookmark it as many times to your hearts content.

3.) Can you read manga's or marvel comics in Kindle?
Finally, that picture says it all, its not Manga and not Marvel,
but hey its Superman, from DC Comics smile.gif

Hope those helped! smile.gif

How come after I converted a pdf file to mobi, the mobi file looks exactly the same as pdf? Font size cannot be changed or zoom.

Overall very happy with the Kindle. Won't have to bring so ever many books with me when travelling. Save space in luggage for shopping. He he!

This happening to a lot of your books Fluene ?
Could you perhaps send me the sample PDF file youve used to convert it (source file)
as well as the resulting .mobi file ? I wanna try it out too smile.gif

The saving space part is a real REAL plus, the battery lasts super long,
so I survive a lot of shopping trips with the wife too haha smile.gif

Heya there cheefai7, there actually is an interest list right now.
Bulk 6 is now collecting folks who's interested, no payment required.
Minimum Order would be 6 orders to allow fair distribution of shipping charges,
if youre interested in the Kindle or anything from Amazon let me know smile.gif

Another problem. When I copy and paste the mobi files from pc to the kindle, the kindle displays the first sentence of the book as its title instead of the name of the book. Why is this so and how can I make it display the name instead?

You can use Calibre to make some changes and transfer that file back into your Kindle.

fluene,
How about trying Stanza ? Am not sure if it will work for you though
for both your problems above, but in this FAQ it shows how to edit titles.
It may work for you too nod.gif

Did you try changing the "Title" after you add the book in Calibre?
You have to change the title first and only then transfer the book on your Kindle.
However, before that, make sure that you have deleted the book that you previously added on the device first or else, I don't think it will work.

My problem is not in changing the title. I can change the title, no problem. The thing is, once I added the books in Calibre or kindle, the title revert back to the 1st sentence of the book. I just added 70 Agatha Christie's book. Imagine I have to open one by one trying to figure out what is the title of the book?

Another question. We can manage our books by creating new collection in the kindle. can we do this through pc by connecting it to the kindle? Meaning, if I add a new folder using the pc, would it be the same as creating a new collection in kindle?

Would like to help but am requesting again some files to work with.
You see, the Kindle reads the metadata files which determines the title of the book.
Need to look for where this links to and I cant replicate the problem without actual problem samples hmm.gif

To your second question, I believe you would not be able to do so.
Same reason, its via Metadata. Metadata is loosely defined as data about data.
If you see your collections in the Kindle, you would not be able to find them except for
the weird string like Kindle:\.active-content-data\8a5b8dae2758322b01278815e4f20019, that string
is the title of your collection, if you have 10 collections, you will have 10 complex numbers like that.
Thus, per the rule of the data on the data on your kindle (your ebooks), youd not be able to
create a collection directly.

That's just Way Awesome buddy, ive copied it in. Cool that its also perserving the original links.
I like ! thumbup.gif Plus thats something new I learnt too notworthy.gif

As a comeback too, here's another tip I think would be very useful for folks who have a lot of small
font PDF files which are actually ebooks. Only catch is that your pictures (if any) wont undergo any conversion.
Found this little utility Free Ease PDF to Text that will allow
a conversion of text based PDF to only text.

From there, the text can be converted to any ebook format, ie .azw, .prc or .mobi.
Copy those in to your Kindle and voila, you now would have text from pdf that you can zoom in.
Nice eh ? nod.gif

havocx is definitely right about that. It would be much easier if we can see the file itself.

I have had the same problem when I first transfer files to Kindle. So happened that the files didn't have the complete info in its metadata. All I did was key in the info manually on Calibre (Or you can also go to "Edit Metadata", enter the book ISBN and downloaded the info directly), reconvert, retransfer and the problem was solved.

Again, it is still easier to see the file itself, just in case we didn't completely understand your problem or maybe the steps we explained was not completely clear.

Heya there LanDi,
I do understand your concerns but to me your comments are unfair. Consider these :
1. Before ordering you were already given a time frame that it would reach in about 12 working days.
2. 31st December and 1st December are non working days for most courier services.
3. It has only been 7 working days since payment was received, item is already being packed for shipping to Malaysia tonight.
4. Considering point 2, its only been 5 working days since payment was received.
5. You were also updated by dates on when an item is expected to arrive and given updates when they did.


Per your PM to me, youre perhaps considering to be away and am worried that you would not be around at that time.
The dates in which the Kindle's are expected to arrive is still within the 12 working days timeframe updated to you.
Even if we counted Saturdays and Sundays, today is only the 8th day of the order.

Can you help me understand how has it now suddenly been more complicated ? notworthy.gif

A forummer had asked via PM if Kindle can run on MacOS, the Tiger not Leopard.
Ive asked for it to be asked via the thread, that way everyone else would benefit from the knowledge,
he didnt ask on the thread still though but I thought Ill help out anyway.

When you talk about Kindle, you have to reference it right, because you see,
there is Kindle - The Device and there is Kindle - The App (Application).
When you then talk about Kindle - The App though, then you gotta remember that there are various Kindle Apps.
There are Kindle Apps for iPhone, PC, iPad, Android and MacOS.
Having said that lets look at the main question above and answer it covering all possible angle.

Can the Kindle can run on MacOS, the Tiger not Leopard?
Kindle the Device can be run on any Macintosh: Mac OS X 10.2 or later.
In this mode, the Kindle will be just like the other examples shown earlier, a medium to copy
ebooks into it just like a PC. Once connected to the Mac it will show as another drive and files can be copied in.
Reference Shown Here

If you are talking about Kindle - The Application, that's a different story.
To date, the Kindle application has only been available for Windows machines,
which has made it slightly harder for Mac users to organize and manage their Kindle collection.

Along came Kindle for Mac which also offers e-reader features, so you can access all of your e-book purchases,
download and read them right on your computer.
It’ll also sync the furthest location read with all Kindle devices
registered to your account if you want, so that you can continue reading on your Kindle, iPhone or Mac without missing a beat.

Unfortunately however the Kindle for Mac only runs on MacOS 10.5 or later.
Here's a reference for it.

Hopefully that has answered that query smile.gif
Let us know folks if you still have any others.

# PS - Ask via the thread, that way the answer can be shared with everyone smile.gif

Yep Im actually compiling those info so itll fit into one page, itll help me as well since there's loads of queries coming in from
folks via PM too and some of them are repeats of answers Ive already posted or have been posted on the site, ive compiled some
of the FAQ's already on the bottom of the first post though. Im thinking though to move it over to one dedicated post to get all the
in. That way itll be much much easier smile.gif


Some News !
I was at the Japanese Embassy today making my Visa for my upcoming Japan trip and whilst waiting I saw this girl reading a Kindle.
She looked Japanese. Wow i thought, cool stuff, Japanese folks are reading Kindle too.
A more pleasant suprise is when I said hello, I immediately recognised her as fluene rclxms.gif
Coolness to see the Kindle in use, even more when its from a bulk I did. We spoke a bit and I saw some of the stuff fluene was
talking about in her earlier posts, excellent excellent stuff.


More News !

On another Note :

Some folks have requested via PM that I show real examples of Chinese text on the Kindle and how its displayed.
Just for them to be sure. So, you know I dont read Chinese right, thus unless some of you can actually
send me examples of .mobi or .azw or .prc files or even .pdf files of your own I can show it here.

Not knowing Chinese (so i dont know below if its really Chinese or just some form of Kanji)

That's a broken link buddy.
Was this what you meant ?
May not be worth it to ship in at all. Cost of shipping it in even with the Bulk and lets say using USPS is going to cost more than the Mouse itself because
of Volumetric Weight.
Plus its already available in Lowyat for I think about RM50. Comparable to what Amazon is selling.
Youd find better luck in Lowyat actually smile.gif.

Some folks have requested via PM that I show real examples of Chinese text on the Kindle and how its displayed.
Just for them to be sure. So, you know I dont read Chinese right, thus unless some of you can actually
send me examples of .mobi or .azw or .prc files or even .pdf files of your own I can show it here.
hi all,
may be need this, this and this hack* in order to show proper chinese text.thanks!!! smile.gif

Awesome links smile.gif
Today's a Friday means no work tomorrow, perhaps Ill start compiling the information on the Kindle
for everyone's benefit tonight.

Also, actually for the screenshot i posted on Kindle displaying Chinese above, those
are direct PDF's they dont need conversion.
Pros : Easy and You conserve any pictures.
Cons : You cant increase PDF's fonts.

If you convert them per the links above :
Pros : Your text in Chinese can perhaps be increased in size.
Cons : A little hassle with the conversion.

Yep Im actually compiling those info so itll fit into one page, itll help me as well since there's loads of queries coming in from
folks via PM too and some of them are repeats of answers Ive already posted or have been posted on the site, ive compiled some
of the FAQ's already on the bottom of the first post though. Im thinking though to move it over to one dedicated post to get all the
in. That way itll be much much easier smile.gif
Some News !
I was at the Japanese Embassy today making my Visa for my upcoming Japan trip and whilst waiting I saw this girl reading a Kindle.
She looked Japanese. Wow i thought, cool stuff, Japanese folks are reading Kindle too.
A more pleasant suprise is when I said hello, I immediately recognised her as fluene  rclxms.gif
Coolness to see the Kindle in use, even more when its from a bulk I did. We spoke a bit and I saw some of the stuff fluene was
talking about in her earlier posts, excellent excellent stuff.

Awesome! With all the compiled info, I'm sure all of us will be Kindle pros in no time. whistling.gif
And my my...what a story of coincidence! Almost fit for a movie plot. laugh.gif

One question to anyone who knows the answer.
I don't really feel like jailbreaking the Kindle, it's complicated and probably will void the warranty but I need it for reading Chinese ebooks besides English ones. So, can Chinese ebooks be converted into a Kindle-friendly format where the fonts are able to be enlarged? (without going through jailbreaking that is...) Sorry if this was addressed before.

Hi estara,
Try converting the file to *.mobi using Calibre. Search this thread for Calibre for more info on how to use the software. See if this could help. Good luck! smile.gif

Haha, actually it wont void the warranty and not really that hard, took 2 minutes to do smile.gif
but really once ive done it, its actually more for you to have different screensavers, really. There's no pressing need to actually do it.
Also, the jailbreak can be reversed in case you need to.

By default as long as its in PDF you can already display. Otherwise like the post by mr.anutta you can convert them to .mobi (better quality)
or .prc to have that effect. Not all will transfer and convert nicely though, so you need to have a failure tolerance.Also as per post 357 for folks who have a lot of small font PDF files which are actually ebooks I found a converter.
Only catch is that your pictures (if any) wont undergo any conversion.
Its called Free PDF to Text and that will allow
a conversion of text based PDF to only text. Havent tried it though smile.gif

That's a mighty large item buddy and since im shipping
in my bulks via Fedex / DHL, it may be a tad high, but then again check your quote.
At the quoted amount, you'll receive the item in about 14 working days from the date you pay.

Ok noob question here. I'm registering a separate new account on Amazon and am scratching my head as to where I should put the US address? I've got friends living in the US and got the permission to use their address so now where do I put it? It shouldn't be under credit card billing address...so is it under settings - address book - add new address?

Create an email account that has absolutely no reference to your MY address. I used Gmail. Then use this email and create a new Amazon account, again not using any MY location details. You can add US address in the address book, but you won't be shipping anything since you're just buying ebooks.

Use your normal Amazon account and buy gift cards and send to the new account you just created. There's a link under Your Account to key in gift codes. Once the new account has money inside, you can start buying Kindle e-books. You can also register/add a kindle to that account. When you connect via WiFi, the Kindle device will automatically detect all books you bought using that US Amazon account and then you can download those books to your device.

Cheers.

Guys, thanks for the compliments, its a service that im doing thus I want to do it right by you guys!
Not a seller though, seller makes money, me, I return the savings back to you guys notworthy.gif
Besides by adding on my personal stuff to the shipment like you guys I pay a lower cost of shipping to get
my items in, that's payment enough biggrin.gif
Although I like the idea of the commission though hahaha.

Heh, thanks for the replies too guys. See it helps to post your queries on the main thread instead of via PM.
That way in general, we'll have more folks looking into the problem and can share your experiences.
To add to the answers above,

estara,
Say you have registered your Kindle to point to the older email account with a MY reference, not a problem, just delete the Kindle from your account in Manage Your Kindle and delete the old account. Later add the new email address in, you should be golden.

Hey guys, I'm facing possible problem here. This is scaring me a bit so I hope someone can help me out. I bought an ebook at the Kindle Store under a US address which is valid and a friend's. I did it through the gift card method, using my sister's Amazon acc to buy the card and gift it to my acc. Then I got the book and thought it's all fine but nope. A short while ago, I received this email from Amazon and it's this:-

Dear (my name),

I see that you attempted to purchase "The Pursuit of Happyness [Kindle Edition]" while in a different country than the United States listed on your Amazon account. Certain Kindle titles are not available everywhere. We are reaching out to you to ensure the best possible service for your account.

If you have moved to a different country, you can easily update your country for your Amazon account at www.Amazon.com/manageyourkindle

If this is not the case, and you would like to share information that you live in the United States, we can be reached by fax at 001-206-266-1838 from outside the US, or 206-266-1838 from within the US. Helpful information includes:
– Passport
– Military ID
– Permanent Resident Card
– Driver’s License
– Other state photo identity card

We want to assure you that we handle this information in a secure manner: these are dedicated fax lines, staffed in an area with limited employee access. The fax is never printed, just converted to an electronic image that is used to check the country, then the image is deleted.

Best regards,

Account Specialist
Amazon.com
Your feedback is helping us build Earth's Most Customer-Centric Company.
http://www.amazon.com/your-account

So what am I supposed to do? I don't wanna give any difficulty to my friend who had so graciously allowed me to use her address and I don't wanna face any legal trouble here for merely buying a book. If none of you have this problem buying Kindle books then where did I go wrong?

Hey guys, I'm facing possible problem here. This is scaring me a bit so I hope someone can help me out. I bought an ebook at the Kindle Store under a US address which is valid and a friend's. I did it through the gift card method, using my sister's Amazon acc to buy the card and gift it to my acc. Then I got the book and thought it's all fine but nope. A short while ago, I received this email from Amazon and it's this:-
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

So what am I supposed to do? I don't wanna give any difficulty to my friend who had so graciously allowed me to use her address and I don't wanna face any legal trouble here for merely buying a book. If none of you have this problem buying Kindle books then where did I go wrong?

Firstly estara dont panic, there's actually no reason to actually use a real US address, you can remove the address and add another one.
Remember I have the White House as an address while my wife now has an obscure US Mcdonalds as an address.
You dont have to put your friends address as an address for your account, any US address will do. That said, the email is just an automated mail from Amazon,
nothing for you to be worried about and wont affect your friend at all smile.gif

That said, lets look next your account and the email address. Did the email address you associated with your Amazon account shows in any way or ties to Malaysia ?
Then there in lies the issue. Hopefully it works for ya smile.gif

It's automated? *phew* ok. Not too bad then. I just thought maybe using the real deal might be better but obviously not. I'm wondering where my identity got leaked too. I even used hotspot shield when I login to Amazon. I checked my email and got no local address or anything. Now I'm thinking of the phone no. I had to fill in in my Amazon acc. It's a local no. Shall I change it to an US no.? And if yes, what no. am I suppose to put in? I don't know any...if I put the pizza shop no. or something I think they'll know easily. Duh...do I have to clear cache too? I googled and some people say that might help... rclxub.gif

I'm now thinking of creating a brand new Gmail acc just for Amazon haha this is crazy...

Yep, a US Phone number, actually any number really. Find a Coach store location perhaps
and then put that number in. Ta-dah US number. Lets try that first before you go crazy.

Right. I changed the address a bit and changed the phone number to some NY McD's no. All with hotspot shield on. I'm thinking maybe next time I gotta choose to download the ebooks to my PC then sync with USB...maybe it's got something to do with downloading directly through wifi? I dunno...just guessing. And now I won't know if I'll get any warning anymore until I buy another ebook. Thanks mr. anutta and havocx. I almost freaked out for a moment. laugh.gif

On a side note, this hotspot shield is a malware isn't it? It won't allow me to go to Google properly and almost couldn't come into lowyat forum just now. Kept redirecting me to some qbyrd search engine...

I got that message before. Nothing to worry about. Just use a proxy server based in the US and that message won't pop-up. Just do a Google for "free proxy server" and you'll get tons. Or you can use apps like http://hidemyass.com/ which routes your internet traffic through a VPN. Hidemyass also has a free proxy service. The list of servers can be found at http://www.hidemyass.com/proxy-list/.

Once you use a proxy that's located in the US, Amazon won't know your geographical location. If you don't know how to set your browser's proxy settings, let us know. I only turn the proxy on when I get that message. Otherwise, proxy server is always off. It's quite simple actually.

Hope this helps.

Dear (my name),

I see that you attempted to purchase "The Pursuit of Happyness [Kindle Edition]" while in a different country than the United States listed on your Amazon account.  Certain Kindle titles are not available everywhere.  We are reaching out to you to ensure the best possible service for your account.

If you have moved to a different country, you can easily update your country for your Amazon account at www.Amazon.com/manageyourkindle

If this is not the case, and you would like to share information that you live in the United States, we can be reached by fax at 001-206-266-1838 from outside the US, or 206-266-1838 from within the US.  Helpful information includes:
–      Passport
–      Military ID
–      Permanent Resident Card
–      Driver’s License
–      Other state photo identity card

We want to assure you that we handle this information in a secure manner: these are dedicated fax lines, staffed in an area with limited employee access.  The fax is never printed, just converted to an electronic image that is used to check the country, then the image is deleted.

Best regards,

Account Specialist
Amazon.com
Your feedback is helping us build Earth's Most Customer-Centric Company.

So what am I supposed to do? I don't wanna give any difficulty to my friend who had so graciously allowed me to use her address and I don't wanna face any legal trouble here for merely buying a book. If none of you have this problem buying Kindle books then where did I go wrong?

All item received from Havocx in previous bulk. He is a really nice guy. eventho all my item are really heavy, he let me join his bulk and make it happen to me. He is your guy if you ever need anything in the US, big or small! Of course don't go overboard like buying a 50" TV lol. All the items were packed properly and all item received in its original condition. He provides the most speedy service ever and he checks with postage company to make sure where your item is! A very responsible person!

The only concern that I have is that he is too awesome and too god damn easy to deal with. Other than that, there is nothing to complain about. wink.gif

Thanks! But I really don't know how to set my browser's proxy setting. Do you mind giving me a step by step instruction or provide me a link to one? It sounds good so I'd like to do that whenever I login to Amazon.

Sorry bout missing your query buddy, dont know why i missed it. So here's the answers to your query.

The short simple answer to all is unfortunately no.

Firstly you must know that as an Ebook Reader only a Kindle cannot be compared to an Ipad. Kindle's does it main function as an eBook reader very very and folks buying a Kindle would buy it simply because of its awesome ability to be able to access your reading material whenever they need to take up on their reading hobby easily. Kindle's are really light, both on the software and the hardware. Tou understand this difference an easy way to compare is to actually compare a normal Notepad to an Ipad app, Notes. The iPad is app is really cool, you can have multiple formats, multiple backgrounds and even multiple fonts when youre writing notes. Notepad is pretty boring, the writing depends on your own, you cant change the background unless you change papers and yes you have to use your fingers and a pen to actually take down notes, pretty boring stuff.

Lets say though you receive a phone call while using your Ipad and there's a notepad too nearby and you need to take down a message. Even though its pretty snazzy, very cool, the first thing you'll actually reach for would still be the Notepad simply because its so much easier andq quicker and it was the reason it was created for. Kindle excels in what it does really really, really well for the same reasons, such as it is you cant compare it Apple to well Apple Ipad smile.gif It doesnt even come from the same family.

On Apps its pretty much limited to the use of the Apps on the e-ink screen which different from an LCD screen on its ability and its disadvantages. Its also limited to the hardware and firmware the Kindle uses vs other electronic devices. For instance, a Kindle on a single charge can have power up to 30 days, no eReader or tablet in the market can claim that. That said though the Kindle does not have apps for it simply because that no software has been written for it yet by Amazon, and even if there is, it would be limited to the hardware limitations of the Kindle. Remember the old Nokia's ? One without Apps ? Even with the Apps nowadays for Nokia, you cant simply be installing it in the old phones because of both Hardware and Software limitations right ? smile.gif

When you choose a Kindle, its like choosing a dedicated GPS unit. You dont purchase a GPS unit for its ability to play MP3, to show pictures and to play videos. Its a plus but that's not the reason youre getting it. Youd be more concerned with the maps and the chipsets within because you want it to be a dedicated unit in your car for your use, its the same for the Kindle too smile.gif

Hope that helps!

Is there any way I can see only free ebooks for kindle by Amazon? When I go to the kindle's store, the free and non free books are listed together.

Share meaningful passages with friends and family with built-in Twitter and Facebook integration. What does this means actually? How do we do using the kindle?


Havocx, I am back from Tokyo. It was 1 deg C there. Sooo cold.

Yep when you get to the Kindle ebooks, sort by prices, lowest to highest, youll see the cheapest ie free ebooks there smile.gif
I actually havent tested the Kindle Twitter and Facebook intergration myself but the intergration does not mean you can check your tweets actually, its only for you to share your tweets. Kinda like when you dont have data plans but when say like me in Tokyo, instead of using Wifi, i send an sms to a Malaysian number, i cant check my replies from there.

For an example here's a little demo at the very last part of the site.

Tokyo is cold, doesnt beat Osaka yet though, Osaka is 0 celcius today, that and the fact that its a port city with superbly windy chills blowing in from the sea, that wind chill factor probably brought the temp down another 3 degrees making the wind here lower than freezing. No snow yet though.

Haha no worries, like i mentioned, im earnest about helping, its not about the money, far from it, this bulk makes almost no profit at all. If there is, those would be a paltry RM5-RM10 difference to which most of the time is spent ensuring your items reach you if say Bulk gets stuck in Customs and all that. If the savings significant, like im sure most of you experienced, those difference would be returned to you. That depends on the grace and efficiency of Customs though, the more relaxed they are in their work, the more our savings would be haha smile.gif

If im in sales huh ? Thats what everyone in the Office tells me too. Ah well, guess im stuck with this job.
Heading out to Tokyo tomorow. Enjoyed my stay in Osaka. Still too cold though haha smile.gif

Sure of course I do. Yes, you would be able to just like laptops and items which takes lower or higher voltages if it does mention that it accepts 100V till 240V. On the Kindle 3 Index, am not sure im clear what youre referring to though, would you mind giving perhaps a screenshot for us please ?

What is indexing? How do we know the Kindle is done with the indexing?

I wonder if we can use commercial mini USB cable on the Kindle?

if you don't understand with the link given...is normal...even I don't understand...haha...some ppl said using the debug Mode might damage the device...but that's the easiest way to turn off the indexing...

Indexing is like computer index...each time you put a book into Kindle 3, kindle will then go through the book and create the keyword/index which will be used when you use the search function...

To check if the indexing is complete, try to search. Any keyword will do.. e.g. aaa.. if the result returns "Yet to index" means some books still indexing.. of course this will use a lot of battery...so is a good idea to leave it charging till is fully index...depending on how many books you insert, it might take up to more than a day..

There are some occasion that the indexing keep running (as in infinite loop), this is cause by a book or few books that is corrupted and Kindle having trouble reading it. Best you remove those books..

Fluene,
In short you cant.
Simply because the Kindle uses a Micro USB cable and not a Mini USB Cable.
Having said that though, any Micro USB cable will do. Like me, Ive not even used the original cable since the
very first time I used the Kindle.

thanks to havocx for the COD yesterday and his effort on this bulk. A very nice guy and responsible ppl ... icon_rolleyes.gif

still having fun with the kindle and still wondering abt the steps of US address for the amazon account.. hmm.gif

Added on January 26, 2011, 3:36 pmmy kindle unable to display chinese font properly and having lots of squares.
google it and i found the solution as below

display chinese fonts：
1) go to home
2) type anything to enable the input bar pop up
3) delete the words u type previously and input the line below (the letter case does matter):
;debugOn
4) press enter ( if your kindle returning you the search result , means that u had some typos, input again)
5) repeat the steps 3 and 4 for the following lines as well:
~changeLocale zh-CN
;debugOff
6) restart your kindle

your kindle should able to display chinese fonts properly now..

enjoy kindling smile.gif

restore to default setting as below:
;debugOn
~changeLocale en-US
;debugOff

I am still interested, but not getting it right now as I have other different priority.

In terms of kindle cover choices, what could a lighted cover make's a different. Meaning to say, I couldn't really read from a kindle when the light's is out, saying that there is no back light on the kindle display?

Sure thing buddy.
Right you are. The Kindle does not have it own backlight. It gets its brightness from the ambient light around it. The more light around it, the brighter the Kindle gets.
Its for the very same reason you can read the Kindle right out there in the middle of a beach in bright sunlight and you cant with say an Ipad or Iphone.
That strength however is not replicated in dim lights. As long as there is any source of light, the Kindle is readable and comfortable to use.
In darkness, it cannot be used unlike an Ipad.

Ive charged mine since the very beginning from Power Socket. Unfortunately I dont know how long it charges since i just leave it overnight.
Im thinking youre not getting too much of a response since generally Kindle's only need charging oh, say every 10 - 15 days if youre an avid reader so it might be that long till you get a response nod.gif

Create an email account that has absolutely no reference to your MY address. I used Gmail. Then use this email and create a new Amazon account, again not using any MY location details. You can add US address in the address book, but you won't be shipping anything since you're just buying ebooks.

Use your normal Amazon account and buy gift cards and send to the new account you just created. There's a link under Your Account to key in gift codes. Once the new account has money inside, you can start buying Kindle e-books. You can also register/add a kindle to that account. When you connect via WiFi, the Kindle device will automatically detect all books you bought using that US Amazon account and then you can download those books to your device.

Cheers.

Zad ? Im not understanding the problem though ? You are trying to BUY the gift card but it request for Payment and Amount of Money ? unsure.gif
It IS supposed to do that. You are trying to BUY a gift card. notworthy.gif

So, you just need to specify how much and what's the email address that you would want to send it to. A gift card can be a minimum of USD 1 to a Maximum of USD 5000.
If youre buying a gift card for yourself just need to mention the email address to send it to. It will send a code of the value you purchased to that email address.

So for instance you ask me to help you buy USD 30 worth of Amazon Gift Card.
Ill need your email address. You will then need to transfer money to me equivalent of USD 30 or make payment to Amazon USD 30 and you will receive the code to your email.
From the code, logon to your Amazon account and add value to your account.
Voila, you now will have USD 30 in any Amazon account that is using that code Amazon sent you earlier.

Im sure you'd at least do a little reading on the first post as these have already been answered smile.gif
Nevertheless to help you out.
The Kindle is RM630.
You would have to wait for about 12 - 14 working days to get the Kindle's.
They are not ready stock. Its for the very same reason its a Bulk as Ill help to get them in at a lower cost.
Please do go through the information in Post Number 1. It would have all the necessary information already within. rolleyes.gif

Heya there mate, Asos is UK based and though Im able to help ship items in from UK too, there is currently no Bulk that Im organizing to bring those in. Hence, itll be pretty much me helping you to ship the item here since I see that Asos does not ship directly to Malaysia. Let me know though. For the Bulk though, its mainly from Amazon and its pretty much only from Amazon US smile.gif

Heya Zad, no worries on the understanding.
That shouldnt be right though, Amazon does not require that you have any credits in your account for it to work.
Ie if you want free book, you dont need to have any amount or credit in your account.
Are you sure your Kindle is registered to your US account though ? You need to link your Kindle in your Amazon account.
Go through your Amazon account and click on Manage.
Link your Kindle there, from there you should be good to go and see all your books.

Not really.

Kindle 3G It works just fine in Malaysia, just like how 3G works for the iPad. Its not locked to any provider. Works globally.
Worth getting, i personally dont think so. 3G allows you to sync books while say youre in the middle of Langkawi away from your personal desktop or on the beach and to surf the internet. This would be the only reason and time the 3G will be in use. For you to do some light browsing whilst by the sea. Also, it allows for wireless sync for your books. But why do it ?

You'll have to remember though that this sync will be for your books, at which before you left for Langkawi you would have already downloaded a few im sure. I dont think youll be able to finish 120 books by the beach on a weeks vacation to Langkawi smile.gif

Kindle holds 13,000 books and even if synching gets you 1000 books also you would not be reading all 1000 im sure.
Next on Net Surfing, well, you remember its going to be in Black and White yes ? Although The browsers pretty decent and gets you
through to the websites fast, 3G is good for quick net surfing by the beach, but if the beach gets Wifi Connection then why connect to 3G ?

Hope that helps

I just got my Kindle from havocx this morning. I have yet to even unbox it yet but I thought I should get this out here first.

This was my first time dealing with havocx but it will assuredly not be the last. I do shop online with some regularity both with e-tailers and also LowYatNet sellers but I have to say, this was the first time I felt completely confident and reassured that my order was in good hands. I sometimes get a fit of nerves after I've made payment on web purchases with unknown individuals. It doesn't help that it feels like I've sent my money into a blackhole because of the lack of correspondence and/or updates as to the status of my order. I basically just have to sit pretty and wait for my purchase to show up pretty much at random.

havocx, on the other hand, is in a league of his own. Your peace of mind is clearly his priority. He takes care to give regular and informative updates about the progress of the order. He goes out of his way to assuage your concerns and answer any questions you may have. He makes it a point to make himself available pretty much 24/7 and provides you with comprehensive contact information, to boot. He's unfailingly prompt, friendly, polite and accommodating in his communications. This is all even more amazing when you take into account that this is a non-profit bulk so he's basically doing this as a labour of love to keep the Kindle flame alive!

Hats off to you, havocx! Thanks for all the hard work! You rock! smile.gif

He's unfailingly prompt, friendly, polite and accommodating in his communications. This is all even more amazing when you take into account that this is a non-profit bulk so he's basically doing this as a labour of love to keep the Kindle flame alive!

Hats off to you, havocx! Thanks for all the hard work! You rock!  smile.gif

I just got my Kindle from havocx this morning. I have yet to even unbox it yet but I thought I should get this out here first.

This was my first time dealing with havocx but it will assuredly not be the last. I do shop online with some regularity both with e-tailers and also LowYatNet sellers but I have to say, this was the first time I felt completely confident and reassured that my order was in good hands. I sometimes get a fit of nerves after I've made payment on web purchases with unknown individuals. It doesn't help that it feels like I've sent my money into a blackhole because of the lack of correspondence and/or updates as to the status of my order. I basically just have to sit pretty and wait for my purchase to show up pretty much at random.

havocx, on the other hand, is in a league of his own. Your peace of mind is clearly his priority. He takes care to give regular and informative updates about the progress of the order. He goes out of his way to assuage your concerns and answer any questions you may have. He makes it a point to make himself available pretty much 24/7 and provides you with comprehensive contact information, to boot. He's unfailingly prompt, friendly, polite and accommodating in his communications. This is all even more amazing when you take into account that this is a non-profit bulk so he's basically doing this as a labour of love to keep the Kindle flame alive!

Whoa! Hang on. A few things I must clarify.
I was not driving, I would NEVER sms or take a call while im driving. Im very much against anyone who does.
I was BEING driven smile.gif Hence I could reply.

Secondly Im not a seller though k-bkeat is a potential seller. Am only showing the Kindle of as I would be available
in the area to meet k-bkeat, I like to share and showing off what the Kindle can do is one of my passion biggrin.gif

Yes, and I have gotten 3 in already if you look at the past bulk.
That someone who should explain would be me, and you would have that already in your PM. Have a great week ahead!

WHOA buddy! Who's running the bulk here, me or you ?
If you look through the history of the Bulk, there are many others who have just created an account in the Lowyat forum just to place an order, there is nothing wrong with it.
What would be suspicious is if its a new account but offering to sell something expensive at a really cheap price and not willing to COD. That's when alarm bells should be ringing.
Otherwise its perfectly fine.

Thanks for looking out for my bulk buddy, but im sure ill be fine.

Sorry buddy, missed out on your query.
Here goes, for your item, ive quoted in your inbox. Interesting, Amazon Stores actually selling the Nook, a competing ebook reader but LCD based screen on its site.
So yep to your question.
Is it safe, not sure if you meant me or the seller.
If its me, i think you can perhaps look through my records and any comments made on my thread and make your own judgement notworthy.gif

If its the seller on Amazon stores, you need to make that decision. I usually would look at their ratings and number of comments.
A person with 25 100% rating and someone with 12000 91% rating, ill usually go and choose the 12000 rating since he is consistently delivering well as opposed to a 25 rated newbie smile.gif

Your choice, you just need to let me know whom you choose and we proceed from there smile.gif

Hey havocx, just wanted to say a well-deserved 'thank you' for another successful bulk that was quick and painless. You are a godsend, seriously. Thanks for taking care of everything so well. Unfortunately for you, this means I'll probably never order anything off Amazon myself again. Ever. Lol.

Got another couple things I wanna pick up already. Will let you know when I get back from my trip, probably in the first week of March. Till then, take care and thanks once again! smile.gif

Hey hey glad to be of service smile.gif Thanks for the pickup and as always passing me back the savings you make.
I dont expect folks to pass savings back to me, but the fact that some do, I REALLY appreciate that, makes it worth my time and effort running this bulk. Thanks again ma'am !

Heya buddy, you asked for a quote for these,thanks for your interest, unfortunately remember the title of the bulk, heavy items bulk. The weight of this item is too light to be at a desirable cost savings for shipping. Unless you have a small item but worth RM200 for instance or multiple small items to be shipped in.
For items like these, its probably best to find one in the local store as shipping alone will be very prohibitive to bring them in. Ive sent you a quote however.

Id usually respond via PM for quotes but Id like to help in this one.
Not all items on Amazon is cheap. For instance the ones youve asked quotes for, they are readily available here and at much cheaper cost overall simply because they have been purchased in Bulk. Remember again for this Bulk we will be using consolidated shipping via DHL and Fedex, everyone will play they part based on the weight of their items. Your items however are readily available in Malaysia.

1. Seagate FreeAgent Pro 750GB - Direct conversion is RM330. A WD 1TB is already RM369 in Compu-Zone without shipping in Malaysia. The price above does not calculate taxes, real conversion rates and shipping fees yet.
2. Belkin Apple Micro USB CLA - Available in All IT for RM69. Direct conversion from Amazon will leave give you the price of RM43 at the rate of RM3 to USD 1. Thats not calculating taxes, real conversion rates and shipping fees yet.

As you can see, its not that I dont like to help quote, itll be good if its quotes for items not readily available in Malaysia or unique stuff that you wont feel the pinch if you do order them. Have a great week ahead!

yup, agree with havocx.
use the search function to find products offered here on lowyat.net. i believe it's much more cheaper in term of unit price + shipping.

Haha thanks mr.anutta, youre still around in the Bulk thread smile.gif
Yeah, for some things its just better to get here if they are available as shipping for some may just be too prohibitive in prices and people may think that I charge a bomb for the items smile.gif

Id usually respond via PM for quotes but Id like to help in this one.
Not all items on Amazon is cheap. For instance the ones youve asked quotes for, they are readily available here and at much cheaper cost overall simply because they have been purchased in Bulk. Remember again for this Bulk we will be using consolidated shipping via DHL and Fedex, everyone will play they part based on the weight of their items. Your items however are readily available in Malaysia.

1. Seagate FreeAgent Pro 750GB - Direct conversion is RM330. A WD 1TB is already RM369 in Compu-Zone without shipping in Malaysia. The price above does not calculate taxes, real conversion rates and shipping fees yet.
2. Belkin Apple Micro USB CLA - Available in All IT for RM69. Direct conversion from Amazon will leave give you the price of RM43 at the rate of RM3 to USD 1. Thats not calculating taxes, real conversion rates and shipping fees yet.

Full response to everyone! Sorry I was away for a little bit being on a Business Trip. Am going soon on my next one. Its been a Tiring week!
So for updates : Bulk 8 Payment Request has been sent, there's still time for orders especially for Kindle, for other items responses may be a little slower
as Ill need to calculate shipping costs, taxes, etc but rest assured you'll get the quotes.

To anyone else still interested after Bulk 8 I might just run Bulk 9 smile.gif So here I go with the replies.

Nothing's really too heavy however some may just pass the value for money weight unfortunately. For instance a USD 5 earphone ships for the same price of say a USD 200 earphones.
So no value for money for the USD 5 earphone. Have sent you the quotes though nod.gif

Sure thing, the quote has been sent to your PM.
Im in Melbourne right now so responses may be delayed. One thing to note though, Bulk 8 orders have completed.
Since youre interested, let me know if I should add you on to Bulk 9 which i may start if there is enough interest nod.gif

Whoa! Sorry for the late response. Was making sure folks in Bulk 8 were taken care off before proceeding to handle another Bulk ie Bulk 9.
In case you dont already know BULK 8 has reached and folks are already getting their stuff. All reached within 9 Working days of them making payment. Cool huh ?
cool2.gif rclxm9.gif cool2.gif

Also, the was having to look after my folks in Japan after the unfortunate incident. All should be well now and ready to help!
So here goes!

Hmm probably may not have value for money to ship it in unless you cant find it here.
Its nicer if you chose item thats not readily available or really expensive here in Malaysia.
I put heavy items bulk as the title as sometimes, small items, they may look to be only USD 5 on Amazon, but you can already see (sample 1 above) that shipping within the US for the USD 5 item is already about USD 3. Now that is in the US with super slow shipping. If you then look at coming on the Bulk which uses Fedex, DHL or UPS to ship it as well as sending it all the way to Malaysia, now think about the costs. That USD 5 may come with a higher than the quoted price for shipping, ie total may be about USD 25 and you may then say Im overcharging. But thats the quote youll get from the courier services anyway, as the items dont have a rather nice price to weight ratio. Heavier items however would have a better ratio smile.gif

Hope that helps!

i really want to thank havocx for helping me get my new baby. initially i was a bit nervous transferring over such a big amount of money to someone i didn't know, but reading through the thread and seeing the positive feedback he received i decided to take a chance. and it worked out! i am right now in the process of buying books for my new kindle, making me probably the happiest person in KL at this moment i think biggrin.gif

havocx sent plenty updates throughout the process - i checked my inbox incessantly (like an addict looking for a fix tongue.gif ) and more often that not there was an update, which was super.

it was also very quick and easy to pick up the kindle from him - i practically floated instead of walking back to my office with my bag full of kindle stuff the day after the shipment came in.

i would recommend havocx to anyone who wishes to order from amazon.

thanks again!

Many thanks to havocx for helping to get my items. And I am really impressed that I have received my items less than 1 day after he sent it out !!
He is one of the best; if not the best seller I have encountered in LYN ! rclxms.gif
Despite his busy schedule he will give us frequent updates on how the bulk is progressing and also with excellent customer service to boot ! thumbup.gif
So for anyone looking to purchase items from Amazon, do look no further.. smile.gif

Once again many thanks to you !! biggrin.gif

it was also very quick and easy to pick up the kindle from him - i practically floated instead of walking back to my office with my bag full of kindle stuff the day after the shipment came in.

i would recommend havocx to anyone who wishes to order from amazon.

thanks again!

No worries heather96. Thanks for walking all the way to come to the office to see me. Sorry I couldnt get away from the office meetings I had.
Thanks too for the Green Tea Frappucino, thats always better than the office coffee.
Youre one of the 2 gals who came over to COD the Kindle with me, privilege is all mine smile.gif
Haha enjoy your Kindle ma'am!

Many thanks to havocx for helping to get my items. And I am really impressed that I have received my items less than 1 day after he sent it out !!
He is one of the best; if not the best seller I have encountered in LYN !  rclxms.gif
Despite his busy schedule he will give us frequent updates on how the bulk is progressing and also with excellent customer service to boot !  thumbup.gif
So for anyone looking to purchase items from Amazon, do look no further..  smile.gif

Once again many thanks to you !!  biggrin.gif

To tell you the truth buddy, im quite impressed too. Shipment reached Kampar and Kedah the day after I sent it out.
And i only sent it out late in the evening, I remember it was right before the Japan Earthquake as right after that I was needed immediately and couldnt complete
to send out some of the items on the day (sorry requiem73, carjack18 and dskit870). Ill have it sent first thing Monday morning smile.gif
Thanks again buddy, enjoy your cans, and ill pass over the rest by Monday morning too!

Havocx, i just received the kindle at 1150 a.m today, which is 12th of March 2011. And currently transferring my e-books collection like a champ

Thanks a lot, you have provided a well run service, and you're the man with a real professional attitude. Salute sir!

Salute to you too sir. Im guessing youre the luckiest of the lot, since you came to replace someone on about the 5th day of the deal,
you only needed to wait 4 working days till you got your stuff. Amazing huh !

got my DVDs, great job sir, will deal again soon hopefully ...
i hope Malaysia is runned by great people like you !

Haha thanks buddy. Running the safety for my folks in Japan was even that a little too hard. I dont think I can run Malaysia.
Thanks for the compliments though, you have some stuff coming your way too

hi bro, do u take any orders for nook color?
*
Heya buddy, yes I do. As long as its available in Amazon or most sites in the US i would be able to help.
Its a good size so there's value for money in shipping it in. If you were to ask me of something that is USD 5,
most of the time the shipping will be almost triple the cost of the item
Ill need to know the exact model youre looking out for though.
Interesting to note, youre getting Nook (from Barnes and Nobles, Amazon's competitor) from Amazon's store. Cool eh
Talk about Free Market haha!

So yes! Let me know what's the model or send me a link to it for a quote.
