Prince
More good news for Indians Kindle Fire has now arrived at Indian Shores.A couple of months back a $200 Android tablet sporting a 7 " Gorilla Glass-reinforced IPS screen and dual-core processor sounded too good to be true. That is, until Amazon unveiled the Kindle Fire. A couple of months after its release, the pocket-friendly tablet has finally reached our shores.
Tradus.in an Indian e-commerce site has put up the Kindle Fire up for sale for the price of Rs 14,000, with free shipping. Its's quite impressive when you consider the fact that Amazon doesn't ship the tablet to India at all and doesn't have a tie up to sell Kindle. The cost is not equivalent to current rupee exchange rate $200 list price, but considering the shipping charges and import duties for sending it to India,its a good bargain.
This relatively dampening part of the whole situation is that the Kindle Fire has not been officially launched in India. The e-shop has listed the device under its "Imported Products" section therefore it's unlikely that it will be backed by any warranty from Amazon.A formal release/launch date of Kindle Fire in India is still awaited.
