Does anyone know when the new Kindle paperWhite will be publically released in Ireland and where?

I have checked out Amazon.com but they will not ship to Ireland from the UK. they will ship however from the states but that then involves the convertor for currency to charge the device, and downloading may be different for US devices.

Looking for one for Xmas pressie-please help!
 
Absolutely no problems whatsoever getting them from The States.

There are three of them in our family, all from the U.S.

So go ahead and buy with confidence.
 
Amazon.com won't ship to Ireland ... put 'em in your cart and try to pay.

I have tried to buy from both the UK and US website but they won't ship to an Irish address.
 
You could try going through a US remailer. I use US Buyer's Club, who provide a US address and then ship on for postal cost. They also charge a 10% charge on the order but even with customs & VAT it should work out cheaper.
 
If you succeed in purchasing the Kindle, you may also require a transformer (the electric system in the States is different to ours). I know we purchased a Waterpik in Florida and had to pay almost the same again for the transformer.

If you want to have it sent to my UK address, in Northern Ireland, I will remail it to you, no problem. You can PM me.
 
You could order from amazon.fr or amazon.de , I ordered mine from the french site - and had it delivered to my parents holiday home, I'm fairly sure they'd deliver to Ireland also, I've had no problems at all with mine.

I have a package from Colombia that i need delivered to a UK address, Can you oblige Slim:D
 
I have bought 3 Kindles bought from the US website (.com) and delivered to Dublin. None of these was a PaperWhite. Is there some issue with that model, because there isn't with the Standard and the Touch ?

FWIW, buying the Standard online was a mistake. It ended up costing EUR 108, and I later saw the same one on sale in Dublin for EUR 89 :eek:.
 
Thanks for the tips. I logged onto the fr and de website. Due to high demand deliveries are expected in mid January 2013! Too late for Santa to deliver Im afraid.its being released in the UK on 22 Nov so will investigate further with friends up North then

Slim .... your offer is much appreciated. I'll stick to my standard kindle until it becomes available in Ireland.

Missing a Christmas deadline doesn't bother me.

Thanks again.
 
Just bumping this thread. Does anyone know of anywhere in Dublin with Kindle Paperwhite currently in stock?

Argos were allowing online reservations last week, but don't appear to have actually got enough units in stock.
 
I've seen them in Curry's and PC World too. But they sell out quickly so you might try ringing them first to reserve one.

I'm guesing that you're talking about the Kindle Touch, not the paperwhite.
Anyhow, I got my Paperwhite today through Ebay....I paid a hefty premium but I deserve a Christmas present!
 
Tesco have the current basic Kindle (Version 5) for €82, the Kindle Touch for €129 and the Kindle keyboard version for €179.

Curry's and PC World have the basic Kindle for €82 and the Paperwhite for €139.

Argos have the basic Kindle for €82, the Touch for €129, the Touch 3G for €219, the keyboard for €167, the Paperwhite for €129 and the Paperwhite 3G for €219.

Currys and PC World have a 'Won't be beaten on price' policy, so if you tell them the Paperwhite is €129 in Argos they will match that price.

The Paperwhite is extremely popular and sells out almost immediately when it comes into stock with anyone, so the trick is to ring around and reserve one. Through the Argos webpage you can check stock levels in their various stores. I don't thionk you can do this with Curry's and PC World.

All these prices were valid last Monday.
