I suggest that you click the tiny exclamation point in your original post and ask the mods to rename it "How Can I Buy A Kindle in Egypt?" Maybe then it will get a response from other Middle Easterners with experience to share.

I seem to remember that the Middle East is sort of a big blank area with e-readers and e-booksellers due to difficulties with licensing books there. Hopefully this has changed or will change soon for you.

EDIT: A lot of people get a Kindle from eBay if they are unable to get them in their region. Then you face the difficulty of geographical restriction On buying books, because it is based on your credit card billing address. I think they get around this restriction by using Amazon gift cards instead of credit cards.
