The Amazon Kindle Touch is now available from the Amazon online store and is about to be shipped worldwide. However, the availability is limited only to the Wi-Fi models, while there are no certain reports about the 3G-version’s release. Overseas import duties and taxes may apply, but they will still enjoy Amazon’s full 12-month warranty.

Somewhat surprisingly, UK and German customers are still unable to have Kindle Touch shipped to them now. Amazon does have local online stores in those countries, but it remains that they will soon become available to those customers through their local online store.

The Kindle Touch is a multi-touch monochrome e-reader that uses the latest generation of e-ink grayscale displays. It can store up to 3,000 titles and supports text-to-speech, audiobooks as well as MP3s. It will download books over Wi-Fi in around 60 seconds and includes a an ‘X-Ray’ feature that makes it easy for users to further investigate historical characters or phrases.
