That is really good to know. I almost bought the Wi-fi version a few months ago, but now I think the 3G is a better choice for me just for the ability to have web access in an emergency situation.
Susan, thanks for the information about the Kindle's web browsing limitations. I don't expect to use it for browsing on a regular basis, so I think it will be fine for what I need... but that is very good to know.
Abookreader, thank you for your input about the next version. I think I will go ahead and order soon.
I may have to take a look at the larger Kindle. I never even considered that one, but perhaps I should check that out before I order.
I read in bed a lot and it seems it might be a bit too heavy to hold, although I would probably prop it up against a pillow. I'm sure web pages would be easier to read with that one. Any other considerations that would make the larger kindle a better choice?
