Whatever works for you. I'm just saying 3G Kindle does have its uses, especially seeing as how it works practically worldwide, for free.

Google Sky is cool. Do you have the JSUNnet app? It's for the Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, & Neptune Interplanetary Library System. They have a huge ebook collection (about 79 trillion titles) with any title instantly available in the language of your choice. And they reciprocate with all OverDrive libraries.

Let's hope it has at least a dual core. Anything less is completely inadequate for 2011.

I wish I could trade my Kindle 3 for a Kindle touch. Since my main use for the Kindle is as a free global browser. I really would love the touch screen. Since navigating with the keyboard is a hassle. |

The Fire has Whispersync, which allows for syncing across devices and the cloud. It does not have Whispernet, which is 3G.

I won't be getting one, and not just because most of them won't be sold outside of the US for a while. I'm still happy for them to keep the competition on their feet.
