Click here for Kindle with global wireless - now available to customers outside the US.
Prior to today Kindle has been available only to U.S. customers. Now for the first time Kindle wireless reading device is available to customers around the world.
With this new Kindle you can think of a book and be reading it in less than 60 seconds.
Kindle utilises the same 3G wireless technology as advanced mobile phones, with coverage in over 100 countries worldwide, so you never need to hunt for a Wi-Fi hotspot. Unlike mobile phones, there are no monthly data charges and no yearly contracts. There is no software to install and no syncing required. You shop and download books wirelessly right from the device.
Kindle is as thin as a magazine and weighs less than a paperback, but can hold 1500 books. Its electronic ink display looks and reads like real paper without glare - even in bright sunlight. A long battery life means you can read for up to two weeks on a single charge.
The Kindle Store has more than 250 000 books available to UK customers, plus UK and international newspapers, including The Times, Telegraph, Daily Mail, and The New York Times. You can expect to see many more books from UK publishers available in the coming weeks and months. Soon you will have every book ever printed, in any language, all available in under 60 seconds.
