International Kindle!

Amazon.com has released the international Kindle!

One of the nice things about the Kindle is its wireless capabilities. One of the complaints about the Kindle is that the wireless only works in the US. Not anymore! There is an international Kindle now that has a wireless connection in a 100 other countries besides the US. Since I am Hungarian, naturally I had to check if Hungary is included in those countries. I should not surprised but yes, the international Kindle's wireless can be used in Hungary. If you want to check the coverage you are interested in the link is in the technical details section of the international Kindlepage.

This "new" Kindle will be released on October 19th. It still looks the same and works the same way as the "original" second generation Kindle. Its price is not bad at all. They will be sold for $279 which is cheaper than what I paid for my Kindle. In fact, the price of the "original" Kindle 2 dropped as well to $259. [Insert a big sigh here.] That's what I get as early adopter of technology.

Please comment if you have anything interested to say about Amazon's new move.
