Hi,

I am brand new here, so please bear with me. I am also in the US right now.

I currently own a Sony PRS-505, but will be traveling extensively next year starting in Australia and New Zealand. However, I want to use the Kindle store to purchase books on the go. So I am very interested in upgrading to the Kindle 3, but am not sure if I should get the WiFi or the 3G version.

First, are there any extra fees to use the 3G version abroad (is the $2 roam fee gone?). Are there any fees to transfer books purchased with a US Kindle account via USB, WiFi, or 3G? I am just trying to find the most cost effective way of purchasing ebooks from Amazon while I am outside the US.

Thank you.
