kindle help!

The 3G is a real boon if you want to have a UK paper everyday when on your holidays, or even for regular reading at home.

The price has now dropped for newspapers to £10/month, which to me is OK value - given that you are missing many of the pictures.

The browser is poor, but as many have said, it's a real bonus if you don't have a smartphone or other 3G data device.

For me the real value was lying on a beach in Greece and downloading the next book in a series which I had started on spec. Less than five minutes after finishing one, I was starting the next. Can't do tat with a pre-loaded wifi version.

For the tablet/netbook vs. reader argument - there are two advantages for the Kindle - screen and battery life. No need to charge a Kindle everyday and the screen is mean for reading without strain.

I have a Desktop PC, Laptop, Netbook and Kindle. Each have their own place and best use.

if you read this article it looks like the "free" internet use might not be so free after all

Nothing like a good conspiracy theory.

Heads up, its 3G internet is free at the moment, but its usefulness is a bit limited.
