Hello from Leicester UK

My Kindle 3 arrived yesterday and I am impressed, especially with the screen, the fact that it retains an image whilst it is switched, off is almost magical.

I'm a Linux user (Mandriva) so am happy with the fact that it runs Linux.

I'm very interested in tethering my laptop to it, I have a caravan and greatly enjoy touring Europe, the only downside being spotty internet access.

I can already tether my laptop to my Nokia n900 which is doable in the UK, Vodafone charge £1 a day for internet access which is wearable.

Problem is, if I do the same thing in Europe Vodafone perform wallet rape on me.

Looking at a map for Kindle access to the 'Net in Europe it extends as far east as Poland.

I would like to chat to anybody that has successfully tethered with the Kindle, I've download the jailbreak software and the tethering software, but have not proceeded further, because I would like to do more research.

Regards,

Peter.
