First, an International version of Kindle became available earlier this month. This is basically the same Kindle as the Kindle 2, except it’s designed for use in multiple countries. Books will be available for download in over a hundred countries and territories world-wide. However, since the International Kindle relies on AT&T SIM for download service, International downloads will carry a $1.99 fee. This is in contrast to the free downloads available to U.S. Kindle users.
The release of the International Kindle is exciting news, regardless of book download fees. Originally, the Internationally Kindle was set at a retail price of 9. Now it has been dropped to $259 – the same price as the U.S. Kindle 2. In effect, the U.S. only Kindle is being dropped and the U.S and International version is now retailing at the price the U.S. only Kindle 2 retailed for.
Credits for are being issued by Amazon who recently purchased the International Kindle at the higher 9 price. Credits are being issued automatically, so you don’t need to do anything to receive the refund except wait a bit.
Another exciting Kindle announcement relates to new software that will soon allow you to read Kindle books on your laptop or PC. The software hasn’t been released yet, but it will come out soon. The application will work with the new Windows 7 as well as XP and Vista, and it will be free to download. The software is slated to be released in November of 2009.
Reading books on a laptop or PC may not be very convenient, but the option may appeal to some wireless reader users. It also allows Amazon to promote how convenient it is to have books available anytime at your fingertips.

Today consumers have a couple of options when it comes to purchasing a wireless reading device, and the technology has advanced considerably. Newer versions of older products and brand new wireless reader options are attracting more and more attention to this technology. Anyone who’s serious about reading should stop putting off giving these devices a good hard consideration.
One reason to consider buying a wireless reader now is they’re better than ever. Improvements in technology mean wireless readers now look and function better than in the past. They’re easier to read and use, thinner, more portable and they’re higher in quality. There have been so many imrovements in technology, things are much better than they were in the past.
Convenience is another huge factor to consider when you’re evaluating the pros and cons of wireless readers. Imagine traveling or commuting without having to carry countless books to stay entertained. You can access whatever types of books you want and as many of them from practically anywhere with one of these readers.
Novels, reference books, newspapers, blogs and more are available instantly, regardless of your proximity to a “hot spot.” Best of all, ebooks and other reading materials are more affordable when delivered to a wireless reader. It’s easy to save both time and money by downloading what you want to read!
Newer wireless reading devices allow you to access an in-line dictionary as you read for fast word definitions. It’s also much simpler to bookmark and highlight parts of a book and add notes or visual feedback.
An incredible selection of ebooks are available for wireless readers (both free and for a fee), and undoubtedly these devices are the wave of the future when it comes to reading. Why wait to get in on the latest, greatest technology in reading available right now?
There are only a few minor drawbacks to consider regarding a wireless reading device. First, they’ve come down in price, but they’re still costly. However given what they’re now capable of and the increase in quality, the cost seems more justifiable than ever.
Despite new developments in greyscale shading, it’s still difficult to view and understand some illustrations on wireless readers. Electronic books and wireless reading devices will probably never really compete with actual books in this area. Yet it’s really only one small drawback for most people while there are many advantages. Unless you’re planning to rely on a reader for illustration guide-type books, you should be satisfied with the now common 16 greyscale shaded illustrations.
Given the advances in these reading gadgets and the drop in prices, now’s a great time to invest in your choice of wireless readers. There’s no need to wait to see if they’ll catch on as clearly, they’re already a big hit with readers everywhere. The number of available books and other reading sources continues to grow, and it’s likely to increase even more.
