Thought Amazon would never ship Kindle to Thailand (the supposed reading average is 2 sentences per person per year...). I was so close to asking a friend to hand carry one from the Philippines. Hopefully, I'll receive my DX Global by tomorrow.

By the way, as Amazon collects a whopping 100+ dollars on the Import Fees Deposits (for Kindle DX Global), if you are importing a Kindle to Thailand, you should contact the importing agent to use the generic harmonization code used for computers so that your Kindle will be imported at the lowest tariff rate possible (perhaps even zero). At the moment I'm expected to pay a 10% tariff.
