Is anyone using an electronic book reader (ex. Kindle) in Doha?

Mr. Claudio I am intrested in buying your kindle tell me the price and contact info please?

I have ebook reader if u want, i can sell it for u

my number 5239986

I am thinking about purchasing a kindle bookreader but I cannot access their Amazon bookstore to view book titles. It gives me this message: "titles aren't available in Qatar."

Those of you who can easily purchase kindle books online, mind you telling me how you are able to do this?

I need to figure out how to download books and move them over manually. Have any of you figured out how to do newspapers? I'd love to get the international herald tribune back...

Ditto what the first poster said. I have the Kindle, friends have the Sony Reader, and both work fine here in Doha. You just download to your computer and transfer over to the reader.

Since you can basically use an iPhone like an electronic reader (I have another friend who does that here), I suspect there should be no problem using them with either PC or Mac formats. But check online to be sure.

Just my two cents: they are SO much better than books!!! Cheaper to buy individual texts, much easier to travel with... I got tired of waiting for a decent bookstore to come to this country. It never will. So cut out the middle man and just do it this way. Only wish I had gotten mine sooner!

Both the wife and I use Kindles here in Doha. The wireless obviously does not work, but you can download books to the PC easily and put them on the Kindle. Books are way cheaper this way and a much better selection than any store in Doha. I have no idea about Mac compatibility. I suggest you check out Amazon.com and find out.
