So, while I was living temporarily in the UK, I bought a Kindle 3, the cheaper option (wi-fi) which was advertised as working internationally, and connected to the internet, but unlike the 3G did not come with free internet service.

I have recently returned to Canada. I am devastated because I broke my Kindle. Yes, I know

So, I need to buy another one. Like, MUST. I am dying here and it's only been a couple of hours. However, it's a bit unclear to me which version on the US site is the one I need since I've heard terms like 'Wi-fi' versus 'International' bandied about.

My understanding is that if I buy the Kindle Wi-fi, I can use it anywhere in the world as long as I have a wireless network to use, correct? So that's on special offer for $114.

And the Kindle 3G + wireless, which advertises being able to be used in 100 + countries, can be used anywhere but has free wireless, is that correct?

I just want to make sure if I buy the Kindle wi-fi a) It has wireless that can be used with a network to log into and b) it works internationally.

Thanks folks!
