1. I know 3G is included and no monthly charge. However is there an extra charge put onto the cost of downloading a book if you use 3G as opposed to WiFi? Obviously UK would be main use but is there a charge in other countries?

2. I use GMail - is it possible to connect to GMail or am I limited to what I can browse with the experimental browser?
i like the 3g. In the us, browsing is free, there is small charge to transfer stuff via 3g. I don't believe Amazon charges extra for the 3g transfer from books bought from them.

I am in wi-fi area enough, so I have it set to only transfer things to me when I'm in wi-fi.

I do use the 3g for light browsing and email on occasion. So far, I've seen no restrictions. Gmail works just fine.
