Kindle reader makes a move towards the rest of the world




A recently arrived expat in Piriapolis has been asking about Kindle access for months, and nothing seems to work for her. No network to support the download of books from the Amazon device means she has to download her purchased e-book into her computer and then upload into her Kindle. But that appears to be not that easy to accomplish.


Enter the new "international" version of the device, which, unlike its exclusively U.S. version, runs on a 3G network rather than on a CDMA. The article on Betanews explains a bit pros and cons, but for you Kindle junkies out there, there is hope at least for the medium term.

    I purchased a Kindle in the US and took delivery in early September. I was dismayed that Amazon.com did not tell me about the upcoming release of the international version. They would not let me return it, and they had no advice except to buy another kindle.
