Geektastic #10

A good week this week for fellow nerds. Amazon Kindle is finally coming the UK (and other countries too).

I’m over the moon because i’m a big reader and my book collection is getting ridiculous. They’re spilling from shelves and bookcases to being stacked up on the floor. I know i could use the library but i have a bit of a germ thing and you never never who has been reading what on the toilet *shudder*.

Anyhoo! You can order it from Amazon US. It’s a new international version but for the time being can only be imported from America. I’ve got mine pre-ordered and hopefully it will be here on the 23rd October. Unless of course it sells out and whoever pre-ordered it before me gets it first (SCREAM!). I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Here’s a link to where you can find some free ebooks for your Kindle (or other ereader): www.TheKindleWarehouse.com

Oh and some sites have been suggesting that Brits downloading books to their Kindle from Amazon will have to pay a $1.99 roaming fee per book, this isn’t true *hoorah*. It’ll be very handy being able to download a book without being attached to a computer or near a wifi spot. I often like to read more than one book at a time so it’ll be ideal for me. Can’t wait!
