I learn something new every day.

How does that work? If I bring my DXG purchased in the US to Europe, I don't get charged anything to use it in Europe. So Amazon foots the roaming charge for me.

As the end user, it doesn't matter which version I buy. My 3G is free no matter what. For Amazon it matters because of the roaming costs. Which means, that it doesn't matter where you buy the Kindle for the user, only for Amazon.
