I know Gmail will work but I'm just wondering if Yahoo mail will work too since that is where my account is. I would really appreciate some feedback from users that have tried the Yahoo mail.

Since I already have 2 ereaders, I am hoping if there are not too much differences, I can go with the refurbished 3G K2 and save some money. I demoed the K3 in Best Buy and it is pretty user friendly. The only issue is when I tried to navigate to a page, I couldn't find the number keys so I randomly typed something which doesn't get me too far. Does the K2 have number keys? Also, thanks for pointing out the K2 has joystick while K3 has the 5 way controller. I am not sure how the joystick handles but the 5 way controller seems pretty easy to use.
With Kindle, anytime your downloaded something other then their ebooks they will charge you per megabit of attached files.
They said in their contract that the G 3 is offered to customers only for purchasing books from them not for viewing your emails, and they can cut this service anytime they want.
