Wow, thanks for the great welcome!

Been searching and lurking for a few days for a nice skin/cover combo for the kindle.

pdurrant: Feels good to be able to stop lurking

hehe..

jbcohen: Actually, the gray market here is pretty strong, so even if companies decide not to release their products officially, you can usually get it for a slight premium over the US pricing.
But, from what I have noticed, most of the companies are finally starting to release their products here simultaneously, or very soon after their release elsewhere.

I bought my Sony from London for 150 pounds a few years back. I am having the Kindle 3 shipped to me directly from Amazon and it costs a little more than Rs. 12,000 ($269). Which might not be as cheap as the $189 but seems a fair price, as they take care of import duties too.
