Good luck with your Kindle. I’ve had my 3G Kindle for almost 3 years and I love it. I have used it to read FreeRepublic while not near a WiFi connection - using the 3G. I only turn the 3G on when I know I have books to download except to use as a browser when necessary.
I’m on my third kindle...three different generations...all given to others as pass downs. I love my kindle. I have an iPad, iPhone, android and PC. Books are best read on a kindle. And Amazon has a fantastic business and I can’t say enough about how happy I am with it.

I have the 3G keyboard Kindle too. And I’m so glad I have it. We had a bad power outage last summer, Lasted 2 1/2 days. I would have been going through computer withdrawal symptoms if it hadn’t been for my Kindle,where I could go to Freep or web browse, without having to be dependent on electricity that was non-existent for a couple of days. It was a psychological lifesaver. Plus, I can go to a friend or relative’s house, and while waiting for dinner, sit with my Kindle and surf FR. Works like a charm. So glad I got 3G. You’ll be happy you got the keyboard 3G too, once you discover its capabilities. Have fun, and happy reading!
