Given the way it's tightly integrated with Amazon Prime and Amazon's movie platform I think it'll be a while before it appears in Europe . Amazon's not going to sell it in territories where it can't make money selling content to use on it.

Yes. Web page says "US only". No surprises there.

Why would they be? Nook Color 2 is going to be announced soon.
This is definitely going to drive down the prices of tablets. Last edited by avariel; 09-28-2011 at 11:08 AM. |

So finally looked at a pic...the K4 whether touch or non touch...does it have side buttons for page turns? I couldn't see any?

I had no desire to buy a 7" inch tablet, but at $200 and access to the web through Whispernet I may just to have to rethink that stance.

One notable omission in all this is any hint of a replacement for the Kindle DX. That fits in with what I'd assumed - that the DX was intended to be a college textbook device, and Amazon's experiments in that area have been deemed to be a failure.

Looking at the prices of the current ones on the UK and American sites, it seems more likely to be 120 - 140 region, still a good price though.
