Since Amazon launched its first Kindle e-reader back in 2007, it has become the world’s most popular and widely used brand in the e-reader market. With a new generation released almost every year, the Kindle family now includes dozens of different models, each with its own unique features.
However, for book lovers in the Philippines, the official price for a new Kindle can be quite steep, and the selection is often limited. So, where can you find the best deal? The secret is to shop directly from Amazon’s official US website. Not only are the prices significantly cheaper, but you also gain access to the latest models, colors, and limited-edition versions that may not be available locally.
The key to making this work is to use a reliable parcel forwarding service like Buy&Ship. This service allows you to easily get your brand-new Kindle from the US store and have it shipped directly to your doorstep in the Philippines —all for a fraction of the cost.
