But they are only a few of them. The best way to buy it is through Amazon's website as it is cheaper and they ship to the Philippines.

Yes I used my local Philippine credit card to purchase my kindle and books for my kindle. Do not mind the discussions about not being able to use your local credit card to buy books for Kindle. That's already history. Last year Amazon allowed the use of Philippine based credit card on their site. International kindle vs. U.S Kindle ? The difference is, in International Kindle the 3G Internet connection is free in more than 100 countries. I went to Hong Kong with my Kindle and I got 3G internet connection there without me paying a single cent. For U.S Kindle, you only get internet connection within the U.S.A. Have fun with your kindle ! deee: Hi dee. Yes I used my local Philippine credit card to purchase my kindle and books for my kindle.

I love reading books and hopefully this gadget satisfies my love for books. I've been reading in advance about the Kindle and I was wondering about updating the firmware. I still don't know the firmware of the device if it's updated but do I still have to update it once I receive my Kindle? And when I searched Amazon's website, they showed a price per download of ebooks and it costs $11.00++ per book (has anyone tried downloading from Amazon?- am curious how much it will cost). Good luck to all!!! My mom who’s in California won an auction in ebay for the Kindle 2 and I can’t wait to have my hands on this technology.

Safe raman. I've purchased several books in Amazon including my Kindle using my credit card. So far ok raman. A tip though, use a credit card with a very low credit limit para og mag-kinaunsa at least gamay ra imong exposure if somebody hacks their system and steals information from your card. Pero so far this has not happened as e-commerce sites are usually employing the latest in encryption and firewall technologies. mnueva: Yep. Safe raman.

But I needed the wireless reader because it's the closest thing to holding a paper book. Besides you can't read with a laptop when lying down in bed. :-) Albert: Yes I am aware of the Kindle software on the PC.
