Hello,

I am new to the forum. This is my first post. I've been reading it for some time now though.

I just decided to buy the new Kindle DX Graphite International. In fact, I was five minutes ago 1 click away of buying it. I then calmed down for a second, and did some foum search to see if I could clarify a couple of doubts before buying it.

I am going to buy it and use it in UK. During the buying process, there's a warning in the amazon site stating "Blogs are not available for your country". Can someone from the UK confirm that this refers to the "blog suscription" service, and not to the browsing capabilities of the 3G connection?. I mean, I have seen that UK has 3G coverage, and I'd like to know if I will be able to use google, gmail, rss feeds, or any other connection apart from wikipedia and amazon.

Another doubt I have is about the official kindle DX leather case. Is it really the best for the kindle???
I was at first thinking of buying a sleeve case like this one because I think I want to hold the bare kindle without anything attached while reading. However I need a cover to carry it (on my backpack for example) as well.

Would the official leather cover suit for this use?? Is it easy/fast to stick/remove the dx from the leather case, or am I better with a sleve case for this purpose? Is this sleeve ok, btw?

Thanks a lot in advance, and congratulations for the best ereaders forum ever!!!
