Where from in Chennai / India can I buy Amazon's ebook reader Kindle ? What is the approximate price ?
You should go on the Amazon website and FAQ's about the kindle.
As far as I know it is only sold in the US but can be used (w/o wispernet) anywhere in the world.
They cost 359.00 and are really great. I have one and use it when I travel.
I upload the books I want to read so that while I am away I can read them.
Here is the review for the Amazon Kindle. The Amazon Kindle is available on Amazon.com for $399.99 It uses the Sprint EVDO network to access data ...
If there was a way for me to get all the books I already own onto a Kindle or Sony Reader I would get one now. What about you?
(I just want to know if you would, I don't want to know why it isn't an option or how they would do it if they chose to do so)
I'm glad for the answers so far. Let me clarify that you would be able to download all of the books you own now for free.

I just learned that i am getting the Kindle from my husband for christmas.(so excited) Anyway i was looking at the add for target and came across the digital reader from sony. Does anyone know what the difference is??? If so which one is better then??? thanks( although i am keeping the Kindle -its from my husband.)
In addition to the advantages mentioned by the other posters, the Kindle has on more major one - the selection available. Amazon currently offers about 185,000 titles in Kindle format, and they're adding more all the time. The last time I checked, the Sony only had about 20,000 titles available. With that much selection available, you can pretty much guarantee always having something to read that you will enjoy.
I was thinking of buying an iRex Iliad... but the eBook market seems to be very strong with the Kindle Format. Any recommendations?
I got the Kindle for my birthday and love it. You can put other texts on it besides the Kindle format. And music and can go on the internet.
Can you read kindle books on readers other than the kindle? I'm wondering because I would like to use a less expensive/more available reader to access the large kindle reader.
I have a Kindle and I love it. My understanding is that the Kindle library on Amazon is only accessible to Kindle users.

Universities avoid Kindle over accessibility barriers Register
That Act prohibits discrimination against people on the basis of their disability and applies to public bodies and all post-secondary educational institutions whether public or private.
Though maintaining that it had not broken the law, the University settled that case and the trial of the machines will be allowed to conclude this spring.
The American Council of the Blind said that it reached the agreement because of "the university's agreement that should ASU deploy e-book readers in future classes over the next two years, it will strive to use devices that are accessible to the blind", according to a Council statement.
The Department of Justice said that three other universities had agreed not to use or promote Kindle devices or other e-book readers that were not fully accessible to blind users.
"Under the agreements reached today, the universities generally will not purchase, recommend or promote use of the Kindle DX, or any other dedicated electronic book reader, unless the devices are fully accessible to students who are blind and have low vision. The universities agree that if they use dedicated electronic book readers, they will ensure that students with vision disabilities are able to access and acquire the same materials and information, engage in the same interactions, and enjoy the same services as sighted students with substantially equivalent ease of use."
