free 3g hack?
i have heard in a lot of posts that the kindle's 3g modem is connected by usb and someone in europe replaced the kindle modem with a gsm modem. Does anyone know if it is possible to take out the kindle modem, connect it to a computer and get free 3g internet? I will probably try this soon but i want to know if anyone else has.

This would be in violation of your Kindle license agreement that you agree to when you start using your kindle. Also, I think you have it backward... the hack was to get Internet connection from a PC via the USB port without using the Kindle 3G radio. (or maybe I just haven't heard about the hack you are talking about. However, the international Kindle already has a GSM phone in it.) BOb |

So, are you wanting to use the Kindles free 3G service on your PC for purposes other than buying and d/l-ing Kindle books?

not necessarily. A real computer's cpu and browser is required for going to websites like http://www.scribd.com/ to download books. It is also much more convenient. I do however plan to use it for general browsing too. I thought of this because I am moving to an apartment soon and won't have internet for a week or two. I am starting to get desperate. I have already started looking for wifi hacking/piggyback programs. |

You want to browse on the Kindle or on your PC with the Kindle 3G?
Where are you located and what Kindle do you have? BOb |
