Kindle - 3G only for shopping Amazon?
Hello,

Can someone please clarify Amazon's free 3G service for me? Is that only for shopping Amazon, or does it have a web browser I can use to surf the web and view other web pages?

I think I have read that the browser is not very good, but I am interested in having that capability in the event of a power outage like the one in Alabama right now. It sucks to be without power and also cut off from the internet. If Kindle 3G gives the ability to access the internet and keep up with news during a power outage, I think that would be a big plus for me. I could also use web based email, right?

The 3G can be turned on and off to conserve battery life also, correct? Turn it on, load a news report and then turn it off to save the battery?

Thanks in advance for any clarification!
