I’m in Vietnam. I’d like to buy a Sony Ebook Reader PRS-505. Which is the best way to buy the thing?

I understand that Sony just sales that kind of product in US market. So I’d like to know how can I get it in Vietnam or nearer countries such as Singapore, Thailand or Malaysia.

If it’s available in Vietnam, you will probably find it at the following locations:

Ho Chi Minh City: Nguyen King – A huge electronics store about 2 blocks East of Ben Thanh Market.

Hanoi: The Sony Store in the Trang Tieng Street mall. First floor. Near the escalators.

If you’re able to easily travel in and out of Vietnam, you will want to go to Hong Kong for your electronics. Hong Kong is closer to Hanoi than Ho Chi Minh City.

Good luck!

The History of Vietnam[eBook] $36.4 pEveryone knows Vietnam for its turbulent environment during the second half of the 20th century, but few know that archaeologists believe that civilization there existed as far back as the Bronze Age. Vietnam’s history runs rampant with clashing dynasties, civil wars and power struggles between the North and South, and conflicts with neighboring and other countries. First ruled under China’s close watch for centuries, Vietnam fell under conflicting commands of France and Japan during the 19th and 20th centuries-finally leading to the split of North and South Vietnam, and ultimately, the Vietnam War. Today, Vietnam still struggles with its scars from the past, but is slowly emerging as its own country, independent of China and France. An essential addition for high school and public library shelves, The History of Vietnam is the only reference book to examine Vietnam’s complete history, from the 2nd century BCE to the present.
