Yes you can download straight to the kindle but there is a ~3$ extra for “international delivery”. there is no problem charging (with an adapter).

Dror, I am thinking of buying a Kindle 2. I see that you say that the international edition works perfectly in Israel. Do you have to download to your computer first or can you download straight to the Kindle? Any trouble buying books? Charging?

Hi,
(What’s up Leo?)
I found this coverage map through Amazon (click my name):

Which seems to indicate there is coverage in israel, however I don’t know if this counts only for the Amazon store or to the Wikipedia etc as well, did you figure it out?
I’m in the U.S right now and considering getting one to bring home with me.

Update: it recently started to read PDF files natively, without the need for conversion. Tried to read a couple of books like this and it works really well, including the graphics and everything.

For all those considering getting a kindle, this month Amazaon releases an international version that will support wireless access, and I guess will handle the US bank account issue.
So pay attention when u make the purchase (it is slightly more expensive).

I didn’t try it yet…
From what I’ve seen – if you want to read a PDF on your reader, you first have to send it through Amazon for encoding or something.
The other e-Readers seem better at these things.

Very interesting! I’m thinking about the issue too in the last couple of months. The thing is, I would mostly need it for PDFs – reading articles in the train and such. For what I gather, as cool as the Kindle is – it’s not my solution, is it?

Thanks and happy post-Hagim!
