Hi everybody ! Started reading the forums since I got my K3 (first reader), and thought it was time to register and contribute.
The info page at amazon.com is'nt very clear. Got the international US version shipped to France, and 3G was only for the store and Wikipedia. I was a bit disappointed, especially since it's the US wikipedia (which was not specified. I could cope with restricted web, but, at least, give me full wikipedia ! Not that reading in english is a problem -- there would have been little point in buying the kindle in that case -- but you don't get the same coverage on local geography, culture and history).
However, you still get the option to change your country in the "manage my kindle" page to USA... which gives you full 3G access, besides the other better-known effects on the store. So it really doesn't depend on the device, just the account (no more "due to local restrictions...")
I am curious about the projects of Amazon, will they lift these restrictions ?
