I got my Kindle 3g last friday morning just in time to charge it up and chuck a couple of books on it, then off to the airport and to a weekend in Cairo, Egypt.
The kindle is perfect (for me anyway). Effortless reading on the flights.
I tried the web browser when in Cairo and whilst on the road between Cairo and Alexandria and there were no problems, a bit slow but it is a reader after all. The browser is good for wikitravel.org and it's online guide books.
I had a couple of freezes but this I put down to pushing the envelope a bit too far. The wife managed to get it to reset but electronic gadgets always seem to go wrong when she is anywhere nearby.
All in all, impressed.
