Those 12 hour (more like 15 hour to the US) plane flights will be painful if you run out of battery.
If you are going to be travelling in the US and Canada for 2 1/2 months you are going to bring your laptop with you. Which means that you do not need the functionality provided by a tablet.
The K3 is nice a light, has amazing battery life, the 3G works in Australia (at least according to the many Aussies on the board), and the device will receive support no matter where you are in the world since it is an international device.
If you are worried about lighting you can buy a portable light like a head lamp (great when travelling) or a clip on light for your e-reader. Or you could buy the Amazon lighted cover that works with the K3.
