Please help- I am thinking of having my parents bring over either a Kindle 3 or the DX Graphite to me in Greece. I have a few questions:
1. Are both of these models the "new" higher-contrast screen with faster page-turns?

2. The DX Graphite does not include wireless, but the 3G network covers Greece. Any guesses as to whether I'll have problems purchasing books since the device will be purchased in the US? Sounds like the answer would be "no problems" from the other posts. It also sounds as though I'll avoid the $2.30 wireless charge per book?

3. If I buy either Kindle, can I load books from my PC (or PC-Kindle appl) to the Kindle using the simple USB connection?

I'm thinking of the 9.7" since I have other, smaller readers and would like something different, even though the price is considerably more. Since it comes with a power plug it seems that I would only need to purchase a protective cover (I have a US-to-EU plug adapter), is this correct?

Thanks for any assistance!
