Browsing the web on my cell phone (even though it's a 3.6" screen) is a pain, and usually all I need are facebook/gmail/blogs/vbulletin or phpbb forums. I can see that being very handy, indeed.

Thanks for the patience with the newbie question and for setting me straight. I've not followed the kindle much at all, so it's all new to me. I might be tempted to get the k3 3g, but what worried me was that it said that the webkit worked only via wifi.
The K3 WILL work for browsing via 3G in the US and UK (it mentions it right on the product page for both), I don't know about elsewhere, but have seen some areas are limited to WiFi for using the browser.
