After a long period of waiting the Amazon kindle ebook reader has finally gone global. It will start shipping to 100 countries on October 19. Amazon are currently taking pre-orders now – to secure your place in the queue. The international launch has been accompanied by a further price reduction of $40 for the ordinary Kindle 2 and $20 for the Kindle 2 international. USers will have to pay any import duty required depending upon their country of residence. The K2 will ship with a US plug and charger. Despite those minor drawbacks Amazon can expect to see even better sales as they access the larger worldwide market.
