Kindle escapes from the US
In a move that must be prompted by an imminent 2010 release of an Apple tablet device, Amazon has announced an international version of the popular Kindle. The Kindle Wireless Reading Device in its international guise will be released on October 19. Currently, the item is available for pre-order from Amazon.
South Africa is in the list of countries the Kindle will be officially supported in, which is really good news. The Kindle provides a 3G data connection to download content purchased in the Amazon Kindle store.
The Kindle is rather compelling device, in my opinion. A large selection of content makes it quite attractive and the ability to share that content amongst devices with synchronization of bookmarks and annotations is very handy. I currently use the Kindle Reader on the iPhone and would love to have a somewhat larger screen.
To choose a Kindle or wait for Apple‘s upcoming e-reader killer? A good question
