Kindle Ebook Reader in the UK soon?

The Kindle book reader might arrive to the UK

Amazon is reportedly close to setting a release date for the kindle in the UK, with “ innovative negotiations” underway with a carrier for providing the wireless connection thru which the device downloads ebooks.

According to Mobile Today, Amazon have called upon Qualcomm to manage not only the producing of the gsm kindle, but to “ securing connectivity” for the UK device.

Unlike the US kindle, which solely uses Sprint’ s data network for its mobile connectivity, the UK version is tipped to include wireless support also as 3g. The identity of the carrier involved is unknown, but likely candidates include T-mobile and O2, both of whom have well-established wifi networks which their own subscribers have admission to.

Amazon is believed to be working to arrange the establishing of the UK kindle before Christmas 2009, and to have prior to the specified or implied time secured agreements with publishers of books and be mid-negotiation with those of magazines and newspapers. The company’ s carrier talks in Germany reportedly broke down in June, after they were unable to reach consensus on a fair price, while a similar break-down is suggested to have taken place in the UKaround six months ago.

Cross your fingers... the Kindle might be a nice gift for Christmas in the UK

Kindle Shipping Almost Caught Up

Just a quick note to let everyone know that the Kindle shipping estimate is now 5 to 7 weeks. Most regular Amazon customers know that when you order something from Amazon, that is, if it’s in stock, it usually winds up on your doorstep right away.

Unfortunately Amazon has been out of stock, and behind with shipping Kindle’s since Oprah made Kindle her favorite gadget in October. The good news is that the Kindle, as of today, will ship in 5 to 7 weeks. Which means that it is just a few weeks before the Kindles will be shipping right away. Which is what we’ve wanted all along.

Correction as of January 4th 2009 there is now a 7-9 week wait. So if anyone is still waiting on there Christmas Kindle it should show up pretty soon.

Now that the holiday season is winding down. It’s becoming a little easier to get a new Kindle
there is still a wait but now it’s down to 8 to 10 weeks instead of 11 to 13. So if you’ve got some Christmas money and still didn’t get that Kindle you wanted.

You’ll be able to order a new Kindle from Amazon for 359$ and you’ll receive it in a couple of months. No matter what your holiday wishes are. The Everything Kindle team would like to wish everyone a safe, happy and prosperous New Year. May your days be filled with learning and growing and enjoy the company of those you love.
