Hello there,

Amazon announced today that the KiIndle II will be made available for the German market.
Although, the device needs to be ordered in the US and customs charges will apply, the whispernet will work in Europe.

I have a DX and I am quite happy with it. I travel to the states quite frequently and can update there. However, does anyone know whether the Kindle for Germany will be an amended version against the US-version?

Is there any chance, that my DX will be supported through whispernet in Germany?

Best

Sturgeon
