Kindle Touch now available on pre-order in UK
Released on 27th April . . .

good news eh!

£109 - Wifi
£169 - Wifi + 3G

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...f=famstripe_kt

Not sure it's worth spending £60 more for 3G access to the kindle store however!

The international version of Touch 3G has also been announced ($189 at amazon.com).

What's strange that Touch and Keyboard have the same prices at amazon.com and in european Amazons Touch is significantly more expensive.

Wait a minute... are you really trying to understand Amazon?

Hi, I have been waiting for the KT to be delivered in Spain, but it seems that the X-Ray feature won't be available in some of the countries with Amazon shop like Italy, Germany, France and Spain itself. I suppose it's related to the language...

I hope it can be used somehow, otherwise I will feel tricked.

The UK price for the WiFi Touch seems fair enough, but the £60 premium for 3G seems rather steep, especially given that 3G is now restricted to buying books and Amazon and for Wikipedia.

No, just the statement of fact.
And fuzzy logic is still a logic. :-)

I believe you will be able to use it with any English language book, maybe just setting English as the interface language

I dont' think the firmware is different from the UK version (where this feature is advertise as available) and the other European versions

I guess we just need to wait and find out
