I would love a Kindle!!! Fell in love the moment I heard of it. But, but, but: Amazon.com sells them and provides subscription for them only to customers with US-issued credit cards and US billing addresses. :-( I'm waiting for them to sell world-wide.

You won't see Kindle ebook reader being offered outside of U.S. in the forseeable future.

The main selling point of Kindle is it's wireless delivery.
It works using cellular technology called Whispernet using Sprint's EVDO. More importantly, the wireless access for downloading content is free to the end-user.

Unless Amazon can work out similar agreements with different telco's, it will basically remain the domain of U.S.

Pity.
On the other hand, if you merely want a eBook reader (and one that looks a lot more sexier than Kindle and is not tied to any wireless delivery AND is cheaper), check out Sony's eReader.

You know, I have a pda I can read ebooks on but I have found that I like turning pages. And it seems some of the downloads are almost as expensive as a paperback yet I can't keep it on my bookshelf. So guess in this area I like the old ways. :)

Thanks, Keera & Cajie.
I was wondering how that thing works and I mean, the price is pretty steep as well.

I'm like Lisa on that, I just love a book in my hand and turn the pages.
But in a few years we will have to go with the flow I guess & switch to everything on a screen, sigh :)
