Hi. Not yet discovered how to search all threads, so starting a new one to ask an urgent question. Sorry if that is wrong....

I have a Kindle 3 WiFi, and am delighted with it. The "Experimental" browser seems adequate in the UK (on WiFi, of course) although not impressive.

I am thinking of buying a second-hand 3G one, either a Kindle 2 International or a DX International. Can anyone tell me how these will browse in the UK, and also abroad particularly in France. I think I read somewhere that the DX will only browse to Wikipedia in the UK; can that be right? I understand that Amazon are "paying" for the 3G connection time/volume and therefore may have limited the access, but I cannot find on Amazon what those limits are, if any. But then they wouldn't want to tell you that before you buy one, would they?

Anyone any relevant browsing experience, please?
