Amazon Kindle India debut
By Pulkit Sharma

The Amazon Kindle is the number one bestseller on its popular site. This Wireless Reading Device allows you to read books and newspapers anywhere anytime. The environmentalists are happy because it saves the need to cut trees to print paper.

Amazon has just announced that it will now be sold in India and 100 other countries. Competition from companies like Sony ensured this global move happened sooner rather than later.  Indians can now order one for $259 at amazon.com/kindle and it will ship on Oct 19.

“Kindle is the most wished for, the most gifted, and the #1 bestselling product across the millions of items we sell on Amazon, and we’re excited to be able to lower the price,” said Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com Founder and CEO. “We’re also excited to announce a new addition to the Kindle family—Kindle with global wireless. At home or abroad in over 100 countries, you can think of a book and download it wirelessly in less than 60 seconds.”

Kindle wirelessly downloads books, newspapers, magazines, blogs, and personal documents to a crisp, high-resolution 6-inch electronic ink display that looks and reads like real paper. Kindle utilizes the same 3G wireless technology as advanced cell phones, so you never need to hunt for a Wi-Fi hotspot or sync with a PC. Readers can wirelessly shop the Kindle Store, download books in less than 60 seconds, automatically receive newspaper and magazine subscriptions, receive personal documents, and read from their library—now in over 100 countries and territories.
