Greetings from Kyogle, 20ks South of the QLD border!
My lady companion brought the latest Kingle DX 3G back from the States...
We took it camping up to Cairns... It is amazing. It was unreal to download a book wirelessly at two in the morning in the tent in the middle of nowhere!!!
Anyway, we couldn't share anymore, so I ordered one.

I thought Amazon didn't ship internationally and that I would get hassled by customs, but here is the scoop: They do ship the Kindle; they only charge twenty bucks, and they use DHL courier service ... And customs don't hassle you because it's under $1000 (no GST).

For me, it's a no brainer. Huge screen, free 3G... I was tempted to skimp, but I got a $850 dentist bill for 75 minutes of work, and that put things in perspective... It's well worth the 400 bucks.

Wishing you a beautiful week,

Andy
Cheers big ears!

I have been to Kyogle. I remember it as lovely and green!

I purchased the Sony 900. Expensive at the time, but I love it. Wireless was not available then, but now it works for Kindle. Did I make the wrong choice? I dunno. I didn't want to be stuck on Amazon' s format.

Enjoy your new reader. I particularly like mine when I travel. Its like a small paperback on the plane, but with lots of books onboard.

Cheers

SS

hi Snake, I live in WA and have been ereader fan for a while. I have Chinese eteck and a prs 900 sony daily reader.
I mainly use the reader and buy the books from USA. Half price to here. Have to be dodgy joining all the ebook libraries in US . I joined all of them by using a friends USA address. Can pay paypal or visa.
Very happy with the prs 900 has the e ink and lasts about 3 books on a charge. Bought it from USA ebay shopintheusa and the service was so good I have bought one for my son in law. Sony ebook outlet is the hardest to buy books from as it wont let you buy with overseas visa or paypal but I put up with it as it has the range of books I like. There are members here that will help you buy books online. you can download onto the sony software from other outlets ok.

Do you really want to advertise your email address so obviously ?

Cheers,
