Here's a few resources may be of use, although they're not specific to the Kindle:

1) there's a limited selection (~25-30) of books here, but in PDF format:

http://www.dungtrin....id=7&Itemid=278

They also have mp3 audiobooks too.

Also, more books/docs here in PDF:

http://www.fringer.org/downloads/

http://www.fringer.org/writings/

2) These sites could be downloaded/converted from HTML web pages to Kindle mobi format (or others) with (free) software such as Calibre (http://calibre-ebook.com):

http://www.wanakam.com - although it's been down for a few months, it has/had 100+ Thai translations of Western classic novels (eg. Satre, Orwell, Wilde etc)

http://faylicity.com - some poetry online, a lot are translations from English, and many are shown in both languages

http://thaiarc.tu.ac.th - Thai poetry and folktales, in Thai regional dialects with central Thai translations and sound recordings.

Hope that helps at least a little...

There are handbooks of nouns/classifiers on sale at Thai-language bookstores (especially Chula). Presumably, similar lists might be found on the internet, but the hard copy versions are compact and cheap, at about 40 baht. As Peppy says, there are a many nouns for which the classifier is the same word.

here's the Thai Royal Institute classifier listings:

I just bought 2 interesting books about Thai grammar (in Thai) and they cost only 190 baht (ไวยากรณ์ไaทย by นววรรณ พันธุเมธา) and 345 baht ( หลักภาษาไทย by กำชัย ทองหล่อ).

I'd be interested to know where I can find these books - couldn't find them in SP Kinokuniya or my local Se-Ed. Also, could you post the ISBN numbers too?

Oops... spoke too soon - found them on Chulabooks.com & will go down to their Siam Square shop this weekend... Here's the links/ISBN no's for anyone else who's interested...

Hi Kris,

Many thanks,

...but what colour shirts are the protesters wearing and do they glow in the dark?

Where is Makkasan area? How close (or far) is it from everything else, like Sukhumvit, MBK, Silom, Victory Monument?

The BKK terminus is by Phaya Thai BTS station on the sukhumvit line. As lumps of concrete go, it doesn't look too bad either :-)

I don't have one myself, but have been considering buying one of the newer models. The Sony readers are only officially available in the Japan, US, UK and a few other EU countries so getting them serviced anywhere in Asia (except Japan) is likely to be difficult/impossible. I would try the Sony shop in Siam Paragon, but they're probably your only option..

To reach a wider audience of ebook users for help/advice try the mobileread.com forums, maybe someone there can help.

FYI, the 505 and 700 models have been discontinued and newer versions (300, 600) are being released in the next month or so. If you do consider replacing it maybe it's best to wait a while unless you can pick up a secondhand 505 cheap from ebay..
