Amazon lanza Kindle en todo el mundo, con datos incluidos y contenido en diferentes idiomas
Gizmologia —
Es evidente que cuando oímos hablar del Amazon Kindle en cualquier país que no sea EE.UU. nos quedamos un poco “babeando” porque no lo tenemos disponible, la limitación de ventas de este lector de libros electrónico tiene una razón aparente, la conexión inalámbrica que usa esta sujeta a una operadora y Amazon no quiere vender este aparato si no es con la experiencia completa de descargarse libros en segundos en donde sea.
Pero por fin, un rayo de luz se ve al final del túnel, porque hoy Amazon anuncia que Kindle estará disponible en más de 100 países.
Esto quiere decir que Amazon Kindle se ...

Has Amazon Bungled Kindle's International Launch?
Fast Company - Technology —
I wrote with careful enthusiasm about the rumor of a U.K. Kindle last week. But today Amazon's surprised everyone with the Kindle International edition...and it's time to be way less enthusiastic about the product. The pricing is a bit of a mess. According to Amazon's own PR the Kindle is the "most wished for, most gifted and #1 bestselling product" in Amazon's inventory, and that is obviously why it's taking the device overseas--to mine for more money. The International edition of the Kindle, with 3G global capabilities, costs $279 while the regular U.S.-only Kindle 2 has dropped to $259. The international roaming 3G is supplied by AT&T and its army ...

Amazon drops the price of the Kindle 2, international version coming October 19th
Boy Genius Report —
Those of you who have always wanted a Kindle 2 from Amazon but never pulled the trigger citing its cost have little excuse not to break out the plastic this morning. The 2nd generation E-Book reader has benefited from a price drop. Shedding $40 off of its price tag and standing firm at $259, Amazon shouldn’t have too much of a problem obtaining a decent boost in sales. Of course there’s the fact that it only has a CDMA radio and can’t download books while abroad, but that’s just a sacrifice you’ll have to make… Or will you? No, because Amazon has announced that come October 19th, it will be selling the Kindle with ...
