Review of the new International Amazon Kindle, ebook reader tinyurl.com by Joanna Penn of The Creative Penn www.TheCreativePenn.com.

It has brilliant note taking capabilities and for a biblioholic, it’s so easy to buy books and start reading within minutes! Ebooks are licensed by country but there are still hundreds of thousands to choose from. Easier to read from than the iPhone, and Sony E-Reader is not sold in Australia.

Amazon announced the Internation, GSM version of Kindle is available for pre-order now for $279. The US version has dropped in price to $259.

Verizon and Google are teaming up to launch open Android hardware that will run Google Voice. The HTC Hero is confirmed to launch on Verizon in November. doubleTwist made their expected announcement.
