I tried to buy one directly from Amazon, but they won't ship here. Sure, I could get a family member to send it over, but I prefer for this to stick with Amazon in case there are any issues.

Is the Kindle Paperwhite sold anywhere in Korea?

I know the Kindle Fire HD is awesome, and the Nook is great, too; however, I just want the E-text capabilities and the sweet non-reflective screen. I had a regular Kindle before but broke it on the flight over here (busted the screen).

You can buy it on Gmarket, but its pricey ($180 US for wifi only)

Got mine for $150 on ebay. Don't know whether they'll ship internationally.

How do you like yours? I have the Kindle 4 (2011 model) and I would really like to have a backlight and a touch keyboard for notes.

Still, I'm not sure it's a huge difference between last years non-touch model, and the paperwhite.

I'm still selling a Nook in the sale section, if interested.

I'm torn. $180 isn't too bad of a markup (in my opinion for something that's here and I can probably have next day delivered), but I could buy the device and have someone ship it to me from America for less. Of course, if something happens in transit, I don't have much room for action.
