Why I should buy from you? Can’t I get it direct from Amazon?

Nope. Amazon doesn’t ship to Malaysia. You can go to the Amazon homepage here and try to select your country as Malaysia. It would tell you that Amazon won’t ship to Malaysia, for the reason only known to them.

How can you sell Kindle if Kindle can’t be shipped to Malaysia? 

It’s not that Kindle can’t be shipped to Malaysia; it’s just that Amazon won’t ship to Malaysia, but plenty of others will. So what we do is that we get a middleman in the US to buy kindles for us, and have him to ship to Malaysia. This is how we get our devices.

The price is more expensive here than the one shown in Amazon homepage!

Indeed it is, this is because to get the device from U.S to here requires one to pay shipping cost, fuel surchages and taxes, not to mention that one needs to pay the middlemen to get the shipping done. So this invariably drives up the cost.

Why there are only a few products? What if I want other versions of the Kindle?
