Hot on the heels of the exciting of Amazons reveal of their new products yesterday, comes a baffling snub to their British customers.
The stars of the new kindle range the hoped “iPad killer” Kindle Fire and the new Kindle touch. Will not be available in the UK. If this is a temporary thing like the original release or a permanent thing like the kindle dx (the big brother to the re-branded kindle keyboard) we don't know. Its rather surprising and we can only assume it is to do with the supply of these new devices.
In a possible exclusive I can also let you know that as yet, the sales policy of these products are for sale to US residents only. Therefore if you import one you will be unable to register it with Amazon.co.uk.
Its a real shame. In this one act Amazon have suggested they are unable to take on apple, which for a moment seemed to be their intention. Apple's products are released on both sides of the Atlantic within a few weeks of each other. While Amazon products are sometimes never available this side of the pond.
