How to buy a Kindle Fire in Canada
As you may know, Amazon released their latest version of the Kindle, called the Kindle Fire, a few months ago. Many people from Canada are wondering how can they buy a Kindle Fire in Canada. Unfortunately I have to tell you that you can’t. Unlike other kindle models, where you could have them shipped to the US and then sent to you, you can’t do that in Canada with the Kindle Fire.
The reason is simple: if you take a look at the Amazon.com website and compare it with Amazon.ca one, you will notice the extreme lack of content in the Canadian edition of the store. We don’t have their MP3 store, the digital software downloads, or even the Amazon Prime movie streaming services. Without these services being available in Canada, the Kindle Fire isn’t nearly as compelling as it could be. Most of the keynote dedicated to the Kindle Fire went on to talk about how great the Kindle Fire will be because of its deep integration with these services.
So a Kindle Fire in Canada would be an expensive gadget that can’t take advantage of all the features it should offer. It is a waste of money if you ask me. The best thing would be to get any other model, which work perfectly in Canada.
The most recent Kindle model you can use in Canada is the Kindle Touch. Keep in mind, though, that this one CAN NOT BE SHIPPED TO CANADA. You’ll need a relative or a friend that lives in the US so you can send it there, and then have them send it over to you in Canada. You will, however, be able to use all the features this model offers.
Here is a brief listing of the main features each Kindle in Canada. Remember that these can be shiped to Canada, except for the Kindle Touch. Feel free to click on any specific image or link and you will be taken to the product’s page at Amazon, where you can read all about it and place an order. Keep in mind that Kindles are the most popular items at Amazon and they are selling fast. If you want one, get it now; who knows when they might get sold out, and last time this happened it took several months for Amazon to get them in stock again!
