I’ve been following the kindle forum for a while, eagerly awaiting the arrival of Kindle 3. Good news! It appeared to rave reviews and I ordered one at $139 to be sent to France. I let myself be tempted by a lighted leather cover as well, price $59.99, grand order total…. $281.77. No, nothing wrong with the math, just that the total for non-US residents includes $22.03 shipping plus $97.11 import fees deposit. Gulp. But OK, there was no alternative and I desperately wanted my Kindle…Fortunately (as it turns out) the Kindle wasn’t immediately available, so Amazon said they’d ship it separately specifying that I wouldn’t have to pay two shipping fees. Then a message was sent infoming me that the leather cover had been shipped. Did I read the message carefully? No. How silly am I? Very. It is only today, with delivery of the cover that I find out exactly how much this little jewel has cost me. The delivery man demanded 11 euros, I then rechecked the message from Amazon carefully only to find that I had already paid….$86.29 import fees deposit! So the red leather cover alone has cost me a total of $159.76 plus 11 euros instead of the $59 paid by customers in the US, and more expensive than the coveted Kindle 3 itself! As I had just got a message from Amazon UK saying that Kindle 3 was now available in the UK I immediately cancelled the order with Amazon.com US, fearing that the original price tag of $139 would shoot up to goodness knows how much.
Meanwhile anyone wanting to buy a priceless red leather cover with reading light (currently locked in the safe) please get in touch. By the way, I was obliged to give a star rating, so opted for one because of the price, but the cover itself is indeed lovely and under other circustances would have had maximum stars. So – the moral of the message – international buyers please check exactly how much your Kindle products are going to cost you in the end before committing to any purchases. Unfortunately The UK does not ship
The Terror Network The
As avid readers there are times when we are apt to encounter books that continue and linger in our minds once read. For me, “Water for Elephants” was a serendipitous find and I truly and lovingly enjoyed this novel. It’s one of those books that you never want to end. There is reason why this book has been on the NY Times bestseller list for more than 12 consecutive weeks. As many reviewers have already recounted the summary I will simply say just READ IT! I promise you will be searching for more of Sara Gruen’s novels. BTW, Apehouse is the next novel to be released!
