New Kindle to Download Books Abroad
Edit: Please go to our continuing discussion over here.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/07/te.../07amazon.html ....The company announced on Tuesday evening that it would soon begin selling a new version of the Kindle that can wirelessly download books both in the United States as well as from more than 100 other countries. The move pits Amazon.com, based in Seattle, against a range of other players in the growing global market for digital reading. The rivals include iRex, a division of Royal Philips Electronics, the Dutch consumer electronics company; Sony; and China Mobile, the world’s largest mobile carrier, which said last month it would soon begin selling several kinds of electronic reading devices. The new Kindle is physically identical to Amazon’s current Kindle, with its slender profile, six-inch black-and-gray screen and angular keyboard. The main difference: it will use the wireless networks of AT&T and its international roaming partners, instead of Amazon’s existing wireless partner for the Kindle, Sprint. Sprint’s network is incompatible with most mobile networks outside of North America. The new Kindle will sell for $279. It begins shipping on Oct. 19.......

And for those people wanting to buy the US version of the Kindle2, the price dropped to $259. That will be great for all the US people wanting to buy a new Kindle for a Christmas gift.
