Anyway, we couldn't share anymore, so I ordered one.

I thought Amazon didn't ship internationally and that I would get hassled by customs, but here is the scoop: They do ship the Kindle; they only charge twenty bucks, and they use DHL courier service ... And customs don't hassle you because it's under $1000 (no GST).

For me, it's a no brainer. Huge screen, free 3G... I was tempted to skimp, but I got a $850 dentist bill for 75 minutes of work, and that put things in perspective... It's well worth the 400 bucks.

Wishing you a beautiful week,

Andy
Cheers big ears!

I have been to Kyogle. I remember it as lovely and green!

I purchased the Sony 900. Expensive at the time, but I love it. Wireless was not available then, but now it works for Kindle. Did I make the wrong choice? I dunno. I didn't want to be stuck on Amazon' s format.

Enjoy your new reader. I particularly like mine when I travel. Its like a small paperback on the plane, but with lots of books onboard.

Cheers

SS
