Im just wondering because i'm considering purchasing one!!


There is no reason why it will not work in the UK. Amazon has just announced that Kindle 2 will be launched internationally at some, unannounced point.

Is the Amazon Kindle worth getting in Australia?

The new Kindle 2.0 is very tempting and Amazon doesn't look set to release it overseas anytime soon.

Has anyone else attempted using Kindle (first gen/second gen) in Australia? I would like to know what are some of the problems encountered and if it's worth the trouble.

How do you feel about the Kindle 2?
Esperienza con il Kindle 2

Im thinking about buying the Kindle 2 from Amazon, and I was wondering what everyone has to say about it. I don't want to spend 400 dollars on something that im not going to enjoy. Any and all thoughts will be welcome.


I've made my pre-order and I can't wait for it. I love the idea to carry lots of books and magazines anywhere without actually bringing the heavy books along with me. And I like the text-to-speech function, which means I can have my hand holding other things and eyes looking around but still reading (listening) the books. What a wonderful idea!

Anyone out there have an Amazon Kindle 2?

I was thinking of asking my husband to get one for me for my birthday in May. How do you like it? Is it really easy to read from? Can you get most books? How much money do you save on books?


I own one and I like it very much. It is lightweight and trendy looking, and I like to bring it everywhere. I like the text to speech function very much too, it is wonderful that I can "read" books with my eyes and hands free up for other things.

As you should know, Kindle books are cheaper than actual books. There has been some calculation coming out that if you purchased 70 Kindle books, the money saved on books can cover the cost of the actual Kindle reader already.

I'll suggest you to read some review and what actual customers are saying to make up your decision:

The Reviewing Stand New York Times

It’s dead hard. The product review, as a literary form, is in its heyday. Polemical, evocative, witty, narrative, exhortative, furious, ironic, off the cuff: the reviews on Amazon use all the tools in the critic’s cubby — and invent some of their own. The ones that rise to the top, in the site’s parallel “favorable” and “critical” categories, adroitly win your trust and close their cases.

It’s probably best not to start off at the high-stakes tables. Novices shouldn’t rush to review Amazon’s Kindle 2, even though the company encourages users to pan (or praise) its prized device right on the site. The Kindle’s nearly 10,000 reviewers are the best of the best. But you might throw in with the reviewers of, say, Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether, Brown/White. More than 400 consumers have something to say about Sophie. Why not you?

Sophie is a $14 baby’s chew toy in the shape of a giraffe. Most people like it: “She has a cute face, she is French and she squeaks, what more could you want?” writes a reviewer named R. Hogue. Bodying forth the object under review — describing it in neutral, or deceptively neutral, terms — is part of the critic’s job. No wonder the winning “favorable” review, by S. Hogan, comes with a video of the author’s infant chomping on the toy. You get to see it in action. But R. Hogue’s description of Sophie as “French” conveys more than even a video can, and it’s a lovely example of deceptive neutrality. What the word gets across is not merely the national origin of this giraffe — a selling point to other reviewers — but the aura of classiness that might draw parents to buy it. R. Hogue’s inclusion of “French” with other terms of approbation (“squeaks,” “cute”) winningly implicates her among the superstitious Francophiles, and instantly you see what pleasures a cute, squeaking $14 teether might afford. Not bad: a pretentious thing that also does what it’s supposed to do!
