Amazon Kindle To Be Available in India For $279
Amazon’s Kindle is going international and will now be available in 100 countries around the world.
Kindle wirelessly downloads books, magazines, newspapers and personal documents to a 6-inch electronic ink display that looks and reads like real paper. Kindle utilizes the same 3G wireless technology as advanced cell phones.
The Kindle can be pre-ordered today for $279 and it will begin shipping October 19. Click here for more details.
You need to pay a $1.99 surcharge to download books outside the U.S. and the same fee in order to download a single issue of a magazine using the Amazon Kindle.

I don’t have much to add to the already great reviews, except that I love this device. I am a previous Kinde owner so I am a very pleased with Kindle 2. I do, however, have some suggestions for the future version of kindle:
1) Bring back the white background please! The dark gray is much harder to read. The white background was a pleasure to read in Kinde 1.
2) I would like the ability to organize my books into folders, and password protect some material.
3) I would like a google like search against my books in my “library”.
4) A touch screen would be nicer. I would to use a stylus to write my notes in the margins.
5) I have tried to read technical manuals on kindle. While the text is great, I find the diagrams are not so clear. Any improvement in this area would be appreciated.
Other than that, this is a fantastic product! Great job Amazon!
