Do you see 5 solid bars at the top of the screen? If they are faded, you have not yet connected to a WiFi hot spot and have no access to 3G.

Most WiFi networks are locked. You must look up the unlock code and key it in.

If you do not have Whispernet connectivity, download the book to your PC and use the USB cable to transfer it to the K3.

By the way, Amazon's help crew is way overloaded. I had a problem and emailed them. They emailed back I should call. Calling was useless since all the new K3 owners are swamping them.

In the end I solved the problem myself.
