Kindle in South Africa?

What on earth does this mean? Wantitall are advertising the Kindle and a full range of accessories. Are they simply reselling at an inflated price?

Kindle 2 now available in SA

That is an amazingly misleading article. Yes, anyone can buy a Kindle without too much difficulty, but you won't be able to use the wireless download service (heavily "plugged" in the article) and nor (without jumping through hoops) will you be able to buy books for it from the Amazon Kindle Store.

Upon attempting to purchase from these sites, individuals soon discover that the majority of sites are not willing to ship products to South Africa.

www.wantitall.co.za was therefore born from the needs of South Africans wanting to purchase items from abroad. We facilitate the process of purchasing items off the internet on behalf of customers and then shipping the requested items to the customer. www.wantitall.co.za therefore handles all the purchasing, shipping, and insurance of the items � therefore reducing the problems previously experienced with internet purchasing.

www.wantitall.co.za consolidates orders within the USA in order to reduce shipping costs to South Africa, and a shipment is sent to South Africa on a weekly Basis.

Hmm, so it isn't really selling in SA. This is just a company that does all the work for you, which is a pretty neat idea.
