Yes. The Kindle has a web browser and you are currently not charged for web browsing. I don't know if they're promising that permanently.

can you make phone calls with it? FOR EXAMPLE USING SKYPE?
Someone would have to put a Skype application on it. I doubt Amazon would allow it since that's a lot of data to give away. There is no phone service on it natively either.

can you install widows software on the kindle? for example i have this windows book software which simulates a real book in how the page turns on a real book.
No. It doesn't run Windows. It runs on a Linux kernel. There is also a software development kit for making applications. There have been some hacks for older versions in the past, too.
