So I got my paperwhite. But I don't have wifi at home (my connection is not working for some reason... waiting for tech support to come over).
So I tried connecting and registering via 3g.
But it tells me it cant' find a 3g signal.
Which is weird... I get full bars on my KT, iPad and Sony prs950.
Anyone else have this problem?

Oh and the screen sucks. I mean, those light spots at the bottom are annoying as all hell...

EDIT: Spoke to customer support. Apparently, 3g was not activated. They fixed it.
After reading a bit more, I still stand by the highly disappointed opinion about the screen. Not only is the lighting uneven - but the light bothers my eyes way more than the lighted covers ever did. It feels like reading on my iPad, to some extent. Then again, I am tired. Will try again tomorrow, with fresh eyes.
