Really. I even would consider to buy it for the price – well, it costs less than an iPod here so , why not – but I did a brief test first.

I actually went to the site, watched the videos and all, the put it in my cart and…

*** We are sorry. This item can’t be shipped to your selected destination.

Just as a expected, no chance to order it. Well, I know 8 or 14 months, and you can buy it here, so it’s all okay, no?

Unfortunately, as it is with the iPod for example, by the time it gets here, the price doubles – yes, actuall I have to pay about 600 USD for an iPod Touch 16GB here. So Kindle will cost about 600USD too. If it ever ges here.

So, I would love it. I really would. but then, I am practically barred from buying it at the moment.

I am really curious about it, I would like a good e-book reading tool, and I really look forward to see if it will be available outside of the United States.

The price will be a bit steep – for 399 USD it better be a very good e-book reader, having an e-mail feature does not worth that much.

If it lives up to the promises it will be a great travelling equipment, with the capacity to store 200 books it will make picking the reading materials for a vacation easier – if you ever found that the 3 books you packed were not the best choice after all, you know what I mean.

I really, really look forward to it
