Amazon starts selling Kindle Paperwhite and Fire HD in China

Summary:

Amazon launched the Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Fire HD in China on Friday and its digital bookstore has quickly jumped from 25,000 to 47,000 titles in the past six months.

Amazon started selling Kindle e-readers and tablets in China on Friday. The front-lit Kindle Paperwhite e-reader is ¥849 (USD $138), and the 7-inch Kindle Fire HD is ¥1499 (USD $244) for the 16 GB version and ¥1799 (USD $293) for the 32 GB version.

Amazon launched a Chinese Kindle store, with iOS and Android apps for reading ebooks, in December. The store contained around 25,000 ebooks at launch and is now up to about 47,000 titles. When I surfed around a Google Translated version of the store today, I noticed that the device page translates as “Optional Kindle device,” perhaps to remind users that they don’t actually have to buy a Kindle in order to read ebooks. Most of the books in the Chinese Kindle store are priced very, very low, with the top 15 bestselling books in the store all priced under 3 yuan (USD $0.49) and many at 1 yuan (USD $0.16).

What a big boom in Kindle Fire expansion. I have a Kindle Fire HD 8.9, which is super nice and much cheaper than the newest Ipad. The main functions I use in touch-screen tablets are just video streaming and basic web surfing. Amazon prime is super good for college students with huge discounts.

谢谢

that's wonderful news.

Amazon is following its core principles - to make a big loss and then to become legend.

it is a  good news for us . but i like paper books though the e-book is the trend. i just like to smell the flavor  of the books and to write in the books . my little dream is  to have a book store in the future.

too late。1、Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Fire HD listed a long time。2、smugged goods cheaper then licensed

There is no Kindle Fire HD 8.9'' in Amazon China Store.

The best one in China is Kindle Fire HD 7''. I contacted Amazon and a staff told me that a Kindle Fire HD 8.9'' purchased in other countries can work on applications in China if it's registered on Amazon China.

I am curious about the battery life of Kindle Fire HD, and the quality of their apps. Anyone know if Amazon Kindle apps are compatible with Android devices?
