To Import a kindle to Kenya with a value of approx 120 USD will incur an fee of 6,119 KES to get it from Customs to your doorstep.
6,119 - does this include shipping from the US, I know DHL charge as if they are shipping gold? Goodness, they must be trying to encourage us to manufacture Kindles locally, or something stupid.
Bought a Nexus at $ 249 and taxes in the US are only $20. The Kindle is cheaper, hence taxes should be lower there. Plus is the amount after the recent increase in taxes? R

There are e-inks in town for KSh. 8,500, but the paperwhite requires no backlight, still maintains weeks of battery life compared to a tablet.
So Mark, do tell us of the taxes when your device arrives, for comparison.

I actually bought one off Ebay from some guy (or chic cant tell name is rather ambiguous) in the UK. Seller seemed to have favourable reviews and I paid using my Equity card via paypal. Now twiddling my thumbs to see if I have joined the hordes of internet swindled simpletons.
I didn't buy a new one seeing as the paper white is pretty much a tablet. Wanted an e-ink display.
