Check it out -- if you were on the fence about buying one, the E-reader wars are heating up and prices are dropping: Quote: Just weeks after lowering the price of the Kindle e-book reader from $259 to $189, Amazon unveiled a fully revamped Kindle on Wednesday. It's sleeker, better looking, easier on the eyes — and starts at $139. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38456511/ns ... d_gadgets/ Available on 8/27. mh |

$139 for a Kindle wifi w/o tax (to CA) is such an attractive price... I'd be all over it if only it would natively support east asian languages without resorting to hacks. |

Do any of you living in CR own a Kindle? I'd like to know its capabilities and limitations here. It appears that you cannot do wireless downloads to it in CR. http://client0.cellmaps.com/viewer.html?cov=1&view=intl I also don't see any mention on the Amazon site of a USB port allowing you to download books via your computer and then import them to the device. Is this correct? For someone living in CR, is it at all useful? |

You can transfer files to the Kindle via its USB port (http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/ ... 05520&#usb) and also via email (http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/ ... 520&#email). I have no idea whether Amazon's wifi or 3g setup works in CR. mh |

Thanks MH, That's good news According to Amazon their wifi system doesn't work here. Looks like I won't have to buy new book shelves. ![]() |
