Amazon Kindle coming to Hungary

Amazon Kindle in Hungary
Amazon Kindle in Hungary

I just read that the Amazon Kindle will be available in Hungary within a few weeks. Great news, at least I think so. It will not really be available in Hungary, as you will have to order it from Amazon.com, but if you order it from there, you will be able to order books, read books and use it in Hungary. It will be released October 19.

Books will in the start only be available in English, but for the happy people reading this article that shouldnt cause any problems. The price for the Amazon Kindle is 279 Amazon Kindle, and if you add the tax etc. to that you will end up around 60,000 Forints. If you first have the Amazon Kindle, the books will cost around 1000 Forints to download.

You want to check it out? Go to Amazon.com and order it today! (they will only ship it as it is released October 19, though).

But here is my question… Can it be nice to read a book from a screen? I would really like to try, because I am curious. But, holding a monitor as I read… it sounds so uncomfortable to me. Reading on the metro? Reading on the beach? I am not sure. Anyone tried such a thing before? I would love to hear some comments concerning this from people with experience.

Hungary to quarter final in U-20 World Cup

Hungary is writing football history in these days. For the first time since the U-17 Fifa Championship in 1985 Hungary has qualified for a quarter final. Yesterday they played against the runners up from 2007, Czech Republic, and after 90 minutes the score was 1-1. Then after 30 more minutes it was 2-2, and every got ready for penalties. The Hungarian keeper Peter Gulacsi did a great job, and saved 3 out of 6 penalties, and in the end Hungary ended up as winners! Hurray!

This Friday they will meet Italy in the quarter final, so it is only to hope that they will succeed again. If Greece could win the European Championship in 2004, everything is possible in football.

By the way, check out Hungarys first goal yesterday scored by Mate Kiss, a real beauty. Check it out on FIFA.com (direct link).
