Availability. I can get the Kindle delivered the same day (or) the next from a village(Now a corporation) in Southern India. Once my Kindle didn't wake up, Got it replaced within couple of days near the end or after warranty period.
That said, I'm with you and wouldn't be buying a Kindle again. It's Value/Price is low for its utility, Especially since Amazon is locking up the device and has started interrupting bulk emails from approved email addresses. Also since I have started to limit my purchases from Amazon.
Now, I have to pester my friends and family from overseas to buy the Ereader not available here (or) Order one with international shipping and pray that the customs don't hold it and charge me a kidney(Compute devices are often charged 2x-3x the cost as excise duty!).
- zinekeller 4y ago> Now a corporation Just stating that while I understand what you meant, it could be confusing to others not familiar with subdivisions of India (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Municipal_corporation_(India) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Municipal_corporation_(India))
- Abishek_Muthian 4y agoThanks, It's indeed confusing without specifying what a corporation is.
- KSteffensen 4y agoComing from a small country, it is amazing to me that an urban area of at least 1 million people is referred to as a village. I consider myself to live in a town and that has only 12000 residents.
- sundarurfriend 4y agoI'm from southern India too, likely even from the same state Abhishek_Muthian is from, and this meaning of corporation didn't occur even to me when reading their comment. I was wondering if they meant the village had become a company town or something. Thank you for the clarification.
