Amazon's Kindle is coming to the UK.

On Tuesday, the web retail giant announced that its e-book reader, previously only available in the US, will now be available in more than 100 countries.

The new global version, which is expected to ship on 19 October, is similar to the previous Kindle with a six-inch display, yet allows users to download books wirelessly in less than a minute.
