I am thinking of buying a Kindle? I don't know much about them other than that you can download books onto them.

Are they worth it?

Thanks for the input.

If you love reading, go for it. It's worth every penny�even the customs fee.

Don't think they have an Amazon in Korea. Heard great things about the product though! Good luck.

I bought mine from Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003DZ1Y8Q?country=KR

Price was they same. They added a bit extra for shipping and taxes. I paid less than $200 for it.

You can also buy it on Gmarket. http://item.gmarket.co.kr/detailview/Item.asp?goodscode=201779757&pos_shop_cd=SH&pos_class_cd=111111111&pos_class_kind=T&keyword_seqno=68016874&search_keyword=kindle

I thought about buying it on Gmarket as the price was similar, but I couldn't tell if the taxes were included.

My order from Amazon arrived in 3 days. I was amazed. It's used every day.

Good luck.
