Hi all, based from previous postings, I've learned that kindle and nook are the top brands for e-reader. However, I'm from the Philippines and both are not available in my country. Im currently using an ipad now as a reader but it can be distracting sometimes because of random notifications. I'm wondering if anyone has an experience ordering from amazon who are outside US? I was told by a friend that there has to be a third party from the US that would buy it from amazon then ship it to the Philippines. Also, are there any features on the readers that is exclusive for users in US?
Thank you guys in advance.
