Mr_Stick_2

Hi, Just bought a new Kindle 3G WiFi at Tesco with £20 off. Mant thanks to Martin for highlighting the offer.:j

I ordered one today too. The code works online, so visit your cash back site first to get an even better deal. Remember too that you are eligible for Tesco points on the sale; almost pays for itself :-)

I got one last weekend , thanks to Lugh Chronains post, before Martin mentioned it ! Fab price....I do have a lot of books in the house but this should be ideal for hols.

I got the 3g version after reading about the £20 off offer and the fact that it would get basic internet access worldwide in Martin's email. I am really disappointed to find that this is only available in certain countries and only one is on our cruise itinerary to the Baltic. I wanted it for home news and email. Apparently I can only get wikipedia and download books. This was not made clear on the Amazon website but they now list these countries on the Kindle pages. They advertised free 3g worldwide access.

You can get 3G access anywhere where there is 3G coverage. Obviously you will not be able to get access where there is no 3G coverage.

You can not blame Amazon for the lack of coverage throughout the world. I could get on most web sites when I had coverage on holiday but found it worked better if I used the mobile web addresses rather than the normal ones.

Not true everywhere - the following is from Amazon website now but not when I bought it
"The experimental web browser is free to use over Kindle's 3G or Wi-Fi connections. If you are travelling outside the United Kingdom, you can access Wikipedia in over 100 countries anywhere you have a 3G connection (check the wireless coverage map here). You can browse other websites globally via a Wi-Fi connection. Access to other websites while travelling abroad is available via a 3G connection in the 61 countries listed below."

Only one country listed is any good to me

Looking at the 3G map on the UK Amazon site Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia all have 3G coverage near the coast. Can not see the coverage been much good out at sea though.
