There can be no doubt in the fact that e-readers, devices for reading electronic books say, there were quite a few long before the famous Amazon Kindle announced and released. Will be refunded in the company of Jeff Bezos, however, the credit for something simple: were these specific devices that made the e-readers so popular in the same way that Apple made popular media tablets with the iPad. Especially the most recent models, the Kindle Fire HD, is not only qualitatively, but also … highly versatile. In our country, however, official “delegation” for the Kindle is not the only way to obtain Greek consumers was through imports from the U.S., in some way, or during a trip. Well, for a few days can do it officially and legally – even though the cost remains distinctly larger.
The initiative belongs to the same Amazon, which from 13/6 will sell Kindle Fire HD directly from its Web site in 170 countries, including Greece. The Kindle Fire HD screen diagonal 7 inch will cost $ 214 and the model with 8.9-inch diagonal display $ 284. But these are “American” values ??for the entry-level models: allowing for transport and import duty products from abroad, the 7inch model “within the reach” of the Greek consumer cost € 225 and 8.9intso with cost … € 290 (!). So though the two tablet Amazon’s unfortunately lose a significant proportion of perhaps their greatest strengths in relation to “normal” tablet like the Nexus 7 or the iPad Mini: the lowest price. And … Note: For American consumers, To Kindle Fire HD 8.9 inch costs $ 269 or … € 207 (!).
What I do not understand, of course, is obvious: because Amazon does not make the entire European Union selling the Kindle Fire rather than the American Amazon.com, but since Amazon.co.uk, order not to overload least import duty and boroumena choose how / shipping costs The answer “because Amazon does not care enough for it” is the only one we can think of, unfortunately. And despite the fact that “we have seen the play” the gross imbalance prices for American products (a company brand apple comes immediately to mind), we had a general sense that Amazon is not imbued with the arrogance of Apple. For those who wish, however ardently a Kindle Fire HD (and the app store their work anymore officially for Greece), at least there is a relevant option. That’s something, we assume …
