Could be useful for that but I have my iphone for that use. Was really thinking on the odd occasions I go abroad and don't use my iphone as roaming charges are prohibitive. Then the Kindle might allow basic use for browsing or email.

If you receive personal documents by 3G there is a charge but I'm not sure about buying books abroad - not something I have tried. You can limit what you might be charged on the Manage your Kindle page on Amazon if cost is a concern.

No intention of receiving personal documents but would be interested in whether or not book downloads would cost.

Gmail is no problem - I regularly check emails and write new ones on the Kindle. Never had an issue with this - it's a very handy feature. Some websites work better than others on the Kindle, just a matter of trial and error.

Thanks.
