where to buy ? nook or kindle

govigov · Nov 12, 2011

hello,

My sister's birthday is coming up and need any one of these to gift.

This has to have the e-ink display that feels like paper and not the colour ones. Needs this delivered before dec 10th. i am expecting this to be around 6k. What is the best method to get hold of one (brand new in box only please).

Where to buy one of these?

Regards,
govigov

Kindle Touch: Touchscreen e-Reader with Wi-Fi, 6" E Ink Display

you can get it Via sns

if you have a account and do not encounter duties it would be something around 5700

or if you order it directly from amazon it can be had for around 7400

or if you prefer the NON touch cheaper version

Kindle - Wi-Fi 6" - Sponsored [Lighter Edition] | eBay

around 5250 with current coupons

IMO i would recommend spending a few extra and get the touch version

shall i go ahead and order from ebay? any other options that can be suggested?

You can get the original nook for $89.
Better than the Kindle wi-fi I think.

BARNES & NOBLE | NOOK Simple Touch

get it via sns or iccworld

via sns you might or might not end up paying duties

but if you don't want any risk try iccworld they will get the new nook touch at around 6600

hi,

I would suggest go for Kindle, the best option within would be Touch Wifi, other than Amazon, eBay you can also get from shopyourworld.com they will give you fixed landing price, you know what you shell out, but it will include customs, they come closer to eBay India pricing in most cases but also little bit highter. About Kindle, I have Kindle DX, would recommend Kindle to anyone, it is good, you can load books as well as Amazon also has great collections, earlier I had PRS505 from Sony, really a bad option it stopped working after few months.

Bst Rgds,

San

Do not buy the wink. I played around with it in Croma, and it's incredibly slow. It takes about 30 seconds for key presses to have an effect. Text resizing makes you lose your reading spot. Opening a large book will take forever. Do not buy it, it'll make reading a pain.

It's a good price. Way more value for money than the Wink.
