In the case of Kindle in Singapore, I think it's not about discrimination but really Amazon could not strike a deal with Singapore TelCos ... I think you can consider iPad as alternative, but again, not sure by when iPad will import to Singapore. Hope it helps. Hi Karen,

I would like to own it too but I still have reservations. Buying it and get it shipped over to Singapore is fine. I wonder if they still allow foreigners to buy up their Amazon Card to purchase the book. Also, do they allow you to actually register? I mean you did it when you were physically in the States. Singapore, for some odd reason, isn't in the international list. I hope it isn't what I'm thinking why they don't allow us to be eligible, 'cos its really discrimination. I have been trying to find an alternative to the kindle but nothing come close. The local Keyreader is a possibility but they seem to have some problems during their launch somehow..

I guess what your friend can do now is just go to Amazon.com and try to login with his Gmail email address, and his usual password. If he still cannot login to Amazon, then check the "Forgot Password" link and retrieve the password. Afterward, login again, go to "Manage your Kindle" and deregister the Kindle from that page. Hope it helps. Hi Fadi,

What seems to be the problem is that he is not aware of his account; it seems amazon created the account for him which explains that my kindle displays his name and a kindle email (which matches his gmail email but @kindle instead). He is asking me for guidance on where and how to login in and deregister, I tried finding out through the net but didn t get lucky. If you can guide me here it will be great as I can’t wait to have books on my kindle and start using it. Thank you one more time! Fadi Hi Micheal,

Since what you got is the International Kindle, so in your Amazon account, you can use your own address, Visa card etc. You need the US address and AMEX card only if you want to buy US Kindle books (usually more choices and cheaper). Hope it helps and enjoy your Kindle 2. Hi Fadi,
