Only £109 for the wifi only version, £149 for 3G + wifi, 3G is international so you can use a (basic) browser for free abroad.

Just looked into it myself, Kindle 3 looks excellent and a relative bargain, think I might ask Santa for one.

Anyone any more input on this?

Christmas time again so about the 3rd or 4th year I'm considering getting one.

you tried torrentz.com or isohunt.com? Also warez-bb have a dedicated forum to ebooks and vaxhome.ws, although the latter tends to be learning material.

edit - have look at http://www.labnol.org/software/download-free-books-for-kindle/10990/ and http://consumerist.com/2009/07/how-to-load-up-your-kindle-with-non-amazon-ebooks.html

Kindle is good value for money just wanted to know where I could get the books for free, have checked torrent sites like piratebay but nothing comes up. Even typed name of book and torrent into google cannot find a thing

Russ, although the ipad 'seems' great - it sucks for reading books on really and can't do much more that my laptop and iphone can do.


can you just drag and drop pdf files with the kindle, never looked into it to much but i thought there was some restrictions due to DRM

not sure about the kindle as my ebook is different, i went for one that specifically didnt have any DRM or security so i can just download pdf files and stick them straight on.

There's plenty of ways to get the books for free. Have a google of Torrent, and Warez Websites.

If it's possible does anyone know how? after searching internet i keep hitting dead ends and websites wanting me to complete surveys etc
