In the past, there were some kindle fans who would like to add more accessories to their beloved kindle. They asked: “why aren’t kindlemalaysia.com carrying screen protector? Isn’t screen protector an essential part of the whole kindle related products”?

Our answers had been: “well it is a nice addition to kindle, but we aren’t carrying it at this point of time”. Which is really a non-answer.

In fact, Kindle is a surprisingly resilient electronic gadget; I have accidentally spilled water on my kindle, dropped it from table and yet it still remained unscathed and fully functional.  And I have no accessories, no kindle case, no screen protector to protect it. It is just a bare device, and it travels with me from Malaysia to Europe to HK to Taiwan, I have been putting it in every kind of environment imaginable without any protection, and yet it is still functioning well.

However, finally, we have come to our sense that it is a good idea to sell screen protector to our kindle fans. So, starting from today, we are putting up pages screen protector page for Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Fire! And, if you buy kindle bundled with accessories, you enjoy RM20% off for your screen protector, and that’s on top of the other discounts ( eg, see this Kindle Fire with stylish case page  and this kindle Paperwhite with Ads page). This is an offer we extend to our customers and we wish our readers happy reading!

When we first  ventured into this business, our very first purpose was not to earn money. Being book lovers ourselves, seeing that there was a need for Malaysians to get kindle in an effortless manner, we determined to get kindles in, so that Malaysians could easily own such a great device without much hassle. The sheer joy of seeing others getting their dream device is worth all the trouble.  It feels so good to do good when you can help it.

Now, as we move on to diversify our offering– and in conjunction with the Ramadan season, we are going to do something bold, something that threatens our profits ( it’s not that we earn a lot!): we are going to donate RM5 to charity for each unit of the case sold. Yes, you hear it right, we are going to donate RM5 to a charity. You might ask: what is the point of giving away our hard earned profit?   It defies every business logic! But our point is just that– we don’t really want to care too much about business logic here.  Remember? We setup this business to do good to the society, to provide an easy and painless way for Malaysians to buy Kindle. And by donating money out of every sale we make, we are also helping others to give to the charity as well.

Let’s just see how it goes. There might be a day when we felt that we won’t be able to do the donation because of various reasons, but until that day comes ( and trust us, if it does we will put up a notice on this blog), we are going to give. It’s better to give than to receive.

And oh! the case is made with hands, yes, bare hands, not machines. When you hold a case in your hands, you can feel the amount of sweat and hard work that went into the making of this simple looking case. Industrialization makes goods manufacturing efficient by means of machines and automation, and as a result a lot of things can be mass produced and cheaply sold. But with machine manufactured goods, the soul is lost, somewhere. The old craft of making good, handmade things are simply lost. Which is why we have a special delight in seeing handmade thingy. Which one would you prefer, a case that has been manufactured by a giant, soulless machine alongside with tens of thousands of its uniform clones, or a handmade case that had been designed, sewed and manufactured by a humble peasant in Vietnam, one at a time?

Some pictures of the handmade kindle cases:

Do you know that you can stream  unlimited, commercial-free, instant streaming of thousands of movies and TV shows at no additional cost with a paid Amazon Prime or Amazon Student membership? Although Amazon says that it is only available for those who are now geographically located in the US, but the other part of the Internet decided to revolt against this arbitrary rule, so, if you reside outside the US, you can stream Prime Instant Video on your Kindle Fire as well.

All you have to do is two things:

1. Root your kindle fire
2. Go to Android Market place, purchase for USD0.99, download and install the World Wide Kindle Fire application from Google Android Market Place.

One can refer to the link here for more information.

It is widely believed that there is no way to buy ebooks, apps, music etc outside US from Amazon. It must be a great shame and mystery as to why Amazon would like to forego the non-US market.

BUT we believe that we have found ways to buy books, apps and music  from Amazon App store for your Kindle fire. Yes, you can  access the rich Amazon ecosystem even though you are not residing in the US!

If you are interested to get free contents for your kindle fire from elsewhere, you can refer to the link here. This post only concerns with how to get contents from Amazon.

The trick here is to get your Amazon account to behave like a US account. Kindle Fire ( or any other Kindles) is just a gateway to access your content on Amazon cloud and Amazon– with the possible exception of video streaming– doesn’t honestly care where your device is. And you are not required to root your device whatsoever.

Here are the steps you can try, based on our experiments and on what other people has found out:

1. Register a new Amazon account at www.Amazon.com using your email address.
2. Only register with (1) US Cardholder Name, (2) US Credit card Number, (3) Exact Expiry Date, (4) US Billing Address and US Telephone Number. Go to www.fakenamegenerator.com to generate a copy of details above.
3. If Amazon does NOT accept the first US billing address, simply regenerate another one and enter all new details.
4. Do NOT register more than one address or more than one US credit card to this Amazon account. NEVER enter a Malaysian Credit Card.
5. For your convenience, turn on 1-Click and set your payment method & preferred billing address in 1-Click Settings
6. You are ready download free apps, free e-books, free magazines, free music because Amazon won’t check on your credit card until you really buy something that require cold, hard cash.

That’s it! Via this way we manage to buy books, buy music, buy apps from Amazon App Store without using VPN. Good luck!

Here are some of the apps that are available on my Kindle fire, note that I download them from the Amazon cloud:

And if you definitely absolutely must get the streaming video to work because you have a Amazon Prime account, we have tips for you as well!
