Amazon's "Kindle" eBook reader is finally going to be available outside of the USA.

You will still have to purchase it from Amazon.com though, rather than a local Amazon site.

The Kindle has a built-in 3G & HSDPA modem, which can also fall back to GPRS & EDGE, for connecting to Amazon's "Whispernet" for downloading content.

"Whispernet" access is free & uses "AT&T's 3G high-speed data network in the U.S. and partner networks outside of the U.S".
