SHIPPING weight of KINDLE 3 / kindle 2 ??

darksaber35 · 08-08-2010, 06:25 PM

Does anyone know the total shipping weight INCLUDING packaging of the kindle 3 OR what the KINDLE 2 was??

I have a relative in hungry and they asked me to if i could order and post a kindle 3 to them along with my order.

But i need the package weight to gauge how expensive it will be to post to them from England..

I was guessing 1kg but i could be way out

If you scroll down to the Product Details on the K2i page on Amazon, it says Shipping Weight: 1.7 lbs.

Kindle itself is listed at 10.2 oz, and put back into its original box with power cord & booklet, my own K2 plus everything it came with is about 600 grams when I weigh it on the kitchen scale. This is just the regular packaging, and no outer shipping box.

However, the scale tells me that 600g is a mere 1.25 lbs, so Amazon probably double-boxes it to get it up to 1.7.

K3 will probably be around the same. Hope this helps.
