It’s somewhat earlier than most observers anticipated, but the Kindle DX is now available for international purchasers to pre-order
The Kindle DX ships with a U.S. power adapter and a micro-USB cable for charging your Kindle via a computer USB port. The U.S. power adapter supports voltages between 100V – 240V, so the voltage will be fine but you’ll need an adapter to convert the US 2-pin plug to a UK 3-pin socket.
