Amazon has taken the popular Kindle device international today, making the e-book reader available to over 100 countries including China and most of the EU.
Additionally, the company has dropped the price of the Kindle in the US to $260 USD from $300, and selling the international version for $279 USD.
The international device will begin shipping on October 19th and will give worldwide users access to 200,000 English books and 85 international and US newspapers.
“Our vision for Kindle is every book ever printed, in print or out of print, in every language, all available within 60 seconds,” CEO Jeff Bezos added. “That's a multi-decade vision.”
