I'm glad I seldom use the browser, nor care to, as I bought the K3 for reading.
That's why most people use the mobile versions of websites like ESPN and CNN. And in a pinch, regular websites work ok, just a little slow (but better than nothing if you really need access to a certain website and you aren't near a computer). Also, if someone has a smart phone with 3G then the kindle browser is less useful than for people like me who have NO smart phone.

Anyway, all I'm saying is it is really useful to some people.
