Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O) announced it would launch its popular Kindle electronic reader overseas and cut the price of its U.S. Kindle in advance of the holidays.
Amazon’s move comes as a host of device makers and media companies from Sony Corp (6758.T) to News Corp (NWSA.O) and Time Warner Inc (TWX.N) seek a toehold in the market.
Amazon’s electronic reader will be available in more than 100 countries, and the wireless coverage from AT&T Inc (T.N) for the $279 device will work in additional countries, such as China, reuters reported.
The Kindle will be available in some countries, such as the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sri Lanka, without wireless support.
A message on the Amazon.com website reads: “Unfortunately, we are currently unable to ship Kindles or offer Kindle content in Canada. We are working to make Kindle available to our Canadian customers as soon as possible.”
