I have no personal experience of cource, but from what I have heard it changed with the Kindle 3.
As "german" Kindle (aka a Kindle registered at a german Account) Internet was nerver possible (outside of buying books and using Wiki).
Previously you could get a fake US adress to make an US account and register it there as US Kindle and use the 3g for browsing worldwide.
This is still possible, but it seems Amazon learned from people doing that and charges now 5$ for each week you use the 3g of your kindle abroad.

I just went to sonystyle.de, klicked on "Sony und Bildung" below the product list on the left, put in my name and uni, got a code. In the page after that ereaders where listed as one of the "-10% items." Put one in my shopping bag, went to the checkout and there you can put in the code which worked just fine.
And then I cancled my order because of sonys retarded payment options. I mean, seriously, the only option to transfer money directly is to a bank in scotland? But I should get my amazon creidt card next week, will preoder it then.
