Buying the Kindle.

[Rogues]

I'm currently planning on getting this kindle and had a few questions.

1. What will be the final price that I'll have to pay?
2. Will I have to pay customs or have any trouble with them?
3. My dad's in the defense, is there any way I could skip paying customs on account of this?
4. Will I have any trouble finding MOBI format books?
Thanks for your time,

Rogues.

if you order from amazon you do get warranty as well...

 

[agantuk]

You get warranty irrespective of who you buy them from. The devices are sold by Amazon only. The eBay guys are just resellers.

If you're getting the sponsored version you can get it off ebay for ~Rs.7200
Kindle Keyboard Wi-Fi 6" E Ink Display Graphite Color - includes Special Offers | eBay

Plus ebay has been sending out 10% discount coupons lately, so you can get it for as low as ~ Rs.6500.

But the sponsored version won't have any warranty support in India.

Is the kindle fire worth the dough?
Getting it from indiaplaza for around 14k(preorder.delivers in november)

If you can avoid indiaplaza. They have bad reputation for delivery times.

Only the International Kindle will be eligible for warranty in India, rest US only.

^ I meant warranty in general, not Indian warranty

I'm also looking to purchase one but want to avoid Indiaplaza. So where did you finally decide to get the Kindle from?

 

[ayanavish]

kindle | eBay

 

[kreacher]

^ Any specific seller that you bought it from?

Nope! Look for a seller with good reputation and go thru the feedback (currently ebay is sending the 5% off coupons)

^ Thanks for the SYW link, I have not tried them before but I found some negative feedback about them (excluding mouthshut/consumercomplaints). Not as bad as Indiaplaza but enough to be apprehensive about shopping there.

Has anyone got positive feedback about buying the Kindle from them? Unless I sign in the check out they are not displaying the duty amount as well so don't know what the final price will be.

^^ I could find only 1 eBay seller with an India location for Kindle Touch. Its a bit pricey compared to others and I don't want to purchase from an international seller because in case I have to return the Kindle it has to be shipped to US.
