These places forever will not sell Kindle.tks but I was looking at places like Harvey Norman, Best Denki, Gain City etc.
You would not regret getting a Kindle. So just get it.

Agree!!There'll be a regret... for not getting it sooner.
to each his own,Thinking about getting a PW, but where should I get it from? There are two options right now the way I see it.
1. Get from Amazon direct with the Essentials bundle. This is 160 USD which includes original cover and power adapter. Including shipping should amount to about SGD240. Comes with 1 year warranty directly from Amazon.
2. Get from fellow SG online sellers. This typically is about SGD180 including a replica case depending on where you get it from. Usually it's with 7 days 1-1 for gross defects and six months to a year Amazon warranty.
Is the $60 price difference worth it for the case?

There seems to be something amiss with the numbers as in the local price is cheaper than Amazon's price. That doesn't seem right. Or it can be true, but they are really 2 different variants (maybe it's a Japanese set.)
The sellers claim they are US sets (one from Carousell, another from a blog page, there's also Lazada and Qoo10). From Google's exchange rates, getting from Amazon will cost me about SGD167 (USD120) which is about SGD10-20 cheaper than those sellers that I have found. Adding shipping should put them to about the same price.
Of course, I haven't exactly bought from those sellers yet so maybe the prices they show are not what they seem to be? Most of them do however offer some sort of 1-1 exchange policy and 6 months Amazon warranty, while buying direct is 1 year warranty.
I have bought the Kindle PW from Carousell and indeed the units are the latest generation with 300ppi and 4GB storage. Quite happy with that.
Just want to ask about buying e-books from Amazon. I keep reading online about using VPN+Gift cards in order to keep your Amazon account from being suspended. However I previously bought a book using my local Citibank credit card and read it using the Kindle Cloud Reader. On the other hand, there are some sites/people suggesting there is a non-US catalog and we are free to use it, and even using the Kindle store within the PW to purchase without risk of being suspended.
Any insights on this?
