Kindle is wildly available at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015T963C?ie=UTF8&tag=villru-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B0015T963C) They offer international shipping as well. I would be highly suggested not to use russian credit cards, since they can decline your payment. AMEX (even russian) works fine, UK and any debit US card, including virtual prepaid card are fine too. SP
