I have my k3 and I can do everything in Canada.
1. email my free.amazon.com email address and receive it on my K3 by wifi without incurring a charge. (receiving by the 3G does incur a charge but I didn't try it cause I'm cheap. I set my setting for personal doc charge to max of $0.00 just in case. When I am not in a wifi area it waits until I am to send it to me free on wifi.)
2. 3g web browsing works where available but slow and no extra charge.
3. order books from amazon at no extra cost by 3g.
4. change my country of origin to USA temporarily to get a free book that is not available to Canada for free. I got an email from them that said blablabla send proof that I'm USA but without recourse. I've since been able to order things as a Canadian and switch back and forth. I know this is shady but I think it's not fair :-)
5. Use calibre to upload news rss feeds to my k3 by wifi. I wake up in the morning to various news article :-) Some are built into calibre other I made myself. awesome!

Have fun,
Sylvie

PS: I'll post back if ever they suspend my account because of 4. I doubt if they would cause then they loose a customer and $$$.
