I've bought both Kindle and Echo Dot from Qoomartthailand on Lazada.

All genuine, quick delivery, no problems.

Bought one on Lazada on 2nd Jan, delivered on 6th Jan by DHL from Hong Kong.

4300bht with voucher, no ads and it's great.

2024, 8gb, 6.8 inch usb C, version.

If you don't like the Robot Dreams cover it just clips off and you can buy a different cover.

One possible glitch on Lazada purchased Kindles I ran into.  My new Kindle Paperwhite 6.7 inch model purchased on Lazada stopped charging after a months use.  I tried every online suggestion there was, nothing worked.  I decided I must have somehow damaged the USB-C port. I bought another one, also from Lazada and the exact same thing happened, after a months use, stopped charging.  I was totally flummoxed.  There is no Kindle service available in Thailand and they can't be mailed to the US because of the built-in battery.  

A friend was going to the US for a visit so I gave them to him to take there and drop off at a Kindle service center near his home.  Just on impulse, he tried charging them at his home and amazingly, thy both charged right-up without issue.  WTF???

Some deeper research revealed that most Kindles sold in Asia originate with Kindle-Japan.  Japan has a weird power grid, half the country is 50 cycle, half 60 cycle. This creates a lot of conflicts and compromises in circuit design and though I have no proof, I think that was somehow involved with my battery charging issue. The only way I can consistently charge them is by using a power bank as the source.  Then they charge without issue. If I use a charger and outlet, sometimes they charge, sometimes not.
