    Kindle Question

    Me & the missus must be the last two remaining readers on the planet who don't as yet own a Kindle Reader.

    Planning on buying the Paperwhite and wanted to ask if anyone knows how to download Thai novels? As in what website etc can you find them?

    Thanks in advance for any tips!

    Searching around I've found this site:

    Ookbee - Digital Publication Platform for iPad/iPhone, Android, Windows

    Not even sure you can use that site for a Kindle.

    Wondering if anyone has any other sources they've used?

    The direct Amazon site for Thai Novels in the Thai Language lists just one book.

    Cheers!

    teach her to read English, then the world's her oyster, she probably won't need the first book, so you will only ever need to buy 2

    buy a cheap 7 inch android tablet and install a reader on it

    though 200 USD will get you a quality brand name tablet with better battery life

    There's loads of Thai novels on this site, although I dont think you can download them there, It looks like it's just for recommendations. But maybe you might have some luck copy and pasting the names into google or torrent sites

    Thanks, boys.

    Had a couple of those cheap android tablets recently and both went 'tits-up' after < a year so going to try a Kindle. Although, I've seen where Looper hasn't had much luck with them.

    The so-called "Kindle Store" here in LOS (BKK) sure is proud of theirs - want ~$150 US more than they cost from Amazon.

    May be an idea to ask them where you can get Thai books for the Kindle.
