    yea thanks i looked more closely.

    it is shipped via priority international courier. tbh i just thought that they would ship a whole wad of them over and store them in a warehouse inside japan... that's what I would have done, but what do I know...

    scrub that, as I was typing this, I just read the kindle doesnt support japanese text; thus you are right... I think you could count the number of Japanese ppl buying it one one hand...

    think I am going to order me one anyway!

    So what is the best format to convert your own non-DRM books into for easy reading and transfer onto the Kindle? Cheers!

    .mobi but if you download .prc its the same thing so doesn't need converting.

    Turns out that this free program Calibre is pretty awesome at managing and converting ebooks to a host of different formats. I also like how it will grab covers/extra info off the net for you...

    So, the 6" Kindle dropped in price to $189 this morning. I just ordered mine, with shipping it's coming to 20,897 yen. Glad I held off until now. Can't wait for it to come. Will be watching my mailbox eagerly for the next 2-4 days!
