You can browse any of the web you want -- just enter the URL or follow links. Whether the page will display well is another question, most pages are usable.

Also, if the website has a direct link to the prc, mobi, txt (etc) file, you can even download it direct to your kindle from the kindle and it will be added to your list of books and indexed. I can't use the mobileread prc links from the kindle (because they are behind funky php functions which makes the Kindle try to display the raw file rather than download it), but direct links to prc files, from, say, Project Gutenberg, work fine.

Currently there is no cost for web access, but Amazons reserves the option to charge for it in the future.
