With respect, I think this is fear-mongering and inaccurate information.

Most places that have wifi -- at home, at a coffee shop, in a hotel -- are gateway connections which provide an access point, either thorugh a login with password or are just open. The Kindle 3 fully supports this method.

See points 4, 5 at http://kindle.ipadlibrarystore.com/k...dle-3-insights

This has been discussed and confirmed elsewhere. Most mobile phones which broadcast wifi provide an access point as well -- so you are good to go.
