So please recommend me an e-book reader with a good and fast web browser

Welcome
Kindle 3 has a browser, it is rather limited and really basic, and not designed for rich content and/or multimedia websites. As a matter of fact, I think there is no fast and good browser for any eink ereader right now and rather than a bad thing I consider this a good "feature", instead of bad one because keeps you away of distractions during your reading sessions.
I had a Nook Color and returned it. Even though the browser is ok, the LCD still is not better than eink for a true ereading experience. Outdoor is difficult to use (beach, pool) and the browser is still sometimes unresponsive and when I used it it crashed several times with reboot as only option to fix it. Way much better Internet experience than Kindle 3 , no doubts about it but I consider Internet and browsing a nice added bonus when getting an e-reader instead of a #1 factor when taking such decision.
If I was you and you're not in a rush, I would wait for a true color eink device maybe in 2012? or stick to Kindle 3 or Nook 1st generation with their basic browsing capabilities.
