Any ideas?

You need to find some one in the United States to help you buy it and ship to you, as Amazon website does not allow any buyers from outside the United States for the Kindle right now.

If you are in Singapore, the best benefit of Kindle that it has wireless access everywhere vanishes. I’ll suggest you to get the Sony reader instead. Quite a lot of people vote for it for better PDF support and touchscreen function:

Like without converting or drm removal or really computer aid? Or at least that let’s you put books checked out from overdrive onto it easily, even using a computer if necessary? Or an Reader that let’s you check out books from an Internet library? Because buying books gets expensive and free websites don’t have current and good books.

how to remove drm?you can find your need

My daughter loves to read books with me…..i am looking to buy a leapster for her for when we drive in the car to keep her busy on long trips. Do leapsters read or are they like playing games and stuff? she is only going to be 2 in july so i want to get her a simple one that she would understand. Any ideas on any child book readers? Thanks so much

we have both the first leappad and the tag.

the first leappad is less expensive, they have a pen, can read, play games.. my daughter enjoys it… very easy to change games.

the tag, is more expensive (almost $14.00 for a book!), with it you can read and play games, although you have to download the program onto your computer and put the games/stories on the pen, it only holds five at a time.

i think my daughter really enjoys the first leappad the best and plays with it the most. you can’t find it a lot of places, toys r us still sells them, and ebay their are lots of deals. hope i helped.

good luck

I have an older model electronic book reader from ETI. I’m beginning to have problems with the touch screen not working. It takes a bit for your selection to become available to you. I’ve been comparing electronic book readers and narrowed it down to two Amazon’s Kindle and Augen’s The Book.

Augen’s The Book looks like the better choice for me and a less expensive price to boot. This reader has a 7" color screen with an automatic back light and comes with a leather carrying case and a car charger. Unfortunately, I am not able to find a dealer on the Internet or brick and mortar store that actually has any of this item left. It sold out as soon as it hit real or virtual shelves. All the sites online have got it on backorder. I called Augen directly and found out that they have no plans to produce any more of the model they just released nor, did they say they were going to offer a newer model in the future. Does anyone know of a dealer where I can still get this item?

As to the Kindle, I’m very annoyed that you have to buy a case separately to protect it and a clip on light as they don’t offer a back light feature and the screen is only 6 inches. Neither reader gives you the ability to electronically organize your electronic book library. You have to do it manually and sort it into folders. With the cost of a Kindle you would think that they would include the protective carrying case and a light. They don’t even give you a car charger with it! I’ve also been hearing that users have been experiencing problems with Amazon about re-downloading already purchased content. That isn’t nice since you’ve already paid for it you should be able to download it however many times you want as long as it is to the same device. You certainly would want to keep read content off the reader for a re-read later on and keep the newer unread content active. I would be most interested in hearing if anyone out in Yahooland has bought either of these items and what their experiences have been in using it.

I got the Amazon Kindle for Christmas and I love it but it has many flaws. Sometimes its really hard to see because as you said there is no back-light, but otherwise it is awesome. There are a wide variety of books to choose from in the Kindle store and some of the classics are free which is awesome. It also has a text-to-speech function that kind of makes up for it not having a back-light. The size of the font can be changed and things can be bookmarked and notes can be put on a certain page if needed. Another plus is that is has a full keyboard which makes it easier to write notes. If you don’t know a word then you can just highlight it and it will look it up for you. I hope I helped:)

I was looking at ebook readers and im pretty sure that I want the Sony PRS-600 Electronic Book Reader. The only drawback so far is that it comes with a book light. Does this mean that the reader does not have its own internal light source? By internal, I mean does it or does it not ‘light’ up and or stay lit while in use? Like a cell phone, mp3 player, or most electronic gadgets lights up when they are in use.

This may seem a stupid question; but if it does stay lit up on its own, WHY the book light?

Thanks in advance,

Rin

Ebook readers have screen different from those cell phone. Their screens are eInk and do not have backlight, so they are more suitable for reading. Read this article and you’ll know:

Techland gadget critic Doug Aamoth looks at how the e-book wars are in full swing, with Barnes & Noble dumping the price of its 3G-enabled Nook to $199. So now that there are all these relatively affordable options, which one’s the best choice?

The slide-out E60 and Qwerty-sporting E61 are the first attempts by Samsung to get into the e-reader market. Due in the UK market at the end of July, the E60 is likely to cost around £299.99.

The models include a handwriting feature that lets you write notes in a book with a stylus, and the ability to play suitable music from the device speakers while reading a book.

I have too many books and would like to downsize my possessions by getting an electronic book reader and purchase eBooks and possibly eTextbooks. Thank you in advance.

I own the Kindle. If you ask me to choose again now, I’ll still go for the Kindle instead of the Nook, because it has the text-to-speech function which means I can "read" books with my hands and eyes free to do other things. I use this function often when I’m on public transport, doing housework, etc. It is really a cool feature that cannot be missed.

I’m a college student and I’ve got some textbooks on my Kindle as well. It does save me some heavy weights and money. The web browsing function over wireless network on the Kindle (while the Nook only has web browsing over WiFi, i.e. only when you are around WiFi hotspot) is rather important as well. The free internet (and now it is free international internet) plus the web browser allow me to look for information whenever I’m in need. And right now it is free for both the U.S. and many other countries, it is just incredible when you bring it to trip.

And indeed, the Kindle has more available books, and ebooks are cheaper on the Kindle as well (Barnes and Nobles always count in the one million free books from Google, which can also be read on the Kindle. For Sony, many users complain it is difficult to find books for it).

And I remember I read these reviews when I decided to get my Kindle:

Finally, there are good offers for the ebook readers from Amazon’s site (the Kindle just had a price slash, in case you don’t know). I put the links below for you to check from time to time.

Hope it helps
