I’ve lived in New Zealand, and interested to purchase a kindle to read japanese ebooks, with dictionary functions and notetaking function, so that I could get these tool to assist me in learning japanese, however I have no idea how could i get a kindle from JP version in order to allow me to buy ebooks from japan? And I need to have a amazon.jp account, needn’t I?

Great post. I also love my Kindle Paperwhite, and recently discovered that I can read NHK Japanese daily news on Kindle from this site jKindle.com
I think if you want to upgrade your japanese this is a great resource for real news.

In reply to heman. As far as I know, the 3G coverage is unlimited and free (once you pay for it of coarse), so you shouldn't be having any problems at all.

HI, My friend is coming from Japan next month to India. I have asked him to buy a Kindle Paperwhite (3G). I need to know whether it can be used in India – accessing book store and 3G.

Thanks.

Hi there!

Is there a English-English dictionary on the Japanese kindle?
I am from Singapore, and looking at shipping the Japanese kindle only because of the capacity it provides – deciding between the US version and Japanese version, not too sure if the two are different apart from storage capacity?

I wanted to ask if you could shop in the amazon.co.jp store with a german kindle paperwhite? And what is with a normal kindle?

In reply to Maggy. Whoops! Just re-read your initial question. As long as you register your old Amazon account to the Japanese Kindle, you'll be able to read all of the books saved to your account. :)

Also, keep in mind that if you switch to another country’s account (like to Amazon.co.jp from Amazon.com) you WON’T be able to read any kindle books saved to your Amazon.com account anymore. You can always switch the registered account back to your Amazon.com one, but switching accounts is not worth doing frequently because I’m pretty sure that you need to re-download your books to the device each time you switch.

In reply to Maggy.

As far as the Kindle Paperwhite is concerned:
– You can install the English-English dictionary (I think it comes automatically pre-installed)
– You can use the Kindle itself in any language, and can also attach the Kindle to various country’s Amazon accounts
– Even if you switch the Kindle from an Amazon.co.jp account to an Amazon.com account, and no-longer have the original J-J & J-E dictionaries pre-installed, you can still re-download them and use them.
– It doesn’t come with a free E-J dictionary, as mentioned above.
