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.

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. On Wednesday, 11 September 2013, Mark Mwangi wrote:

More stories like this are bound to push up online trade; and your nearest Posta can regain its title as the de facto mode of delivery, which has been a challenge to most of our online Daily Deals sites, and e-commerce.

Posta has always been reliable. Its what we've had since independence. I've used it to send high value products across the region. The rule of thumb is to insure anything you cannot afford to loose. ______________________ Mwendwa Kivuva twitter.com/lordmwesh google ID | Skype ID: lordmwesh On 9 October 2013 09:22, William Warero <wwarero@gmail.com> wrote:

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

Best option is 1 amazon can ship here , don't think it will attract duty either, not for a kindle. There will be shipping charges. 2 get someone traveling back buy I line and ship to them, I find this easiest. For small stuff like that it won't be an issue for most people. 3 well travel yourself:-) You can buy this online on Friday and get same day shipping to San Jose? I might be able to assist you.
