When I cancel (because they are locked networks that I don't have access to), the Kindle 3G doesn't revert to a 3G connection, but puts up a message regretting that it cannot connect to wi-fi. There seems to be no way, at such times, that I can override the "wi-fi first" setting and tell it to revert to 3G.
Does anyone have this problem? Is there a way around it? It doesn't happen often, but it's frustrating when it does. I can't even get into the Kindle Store!

The Kindle will always attempt to connect to a "known" WiFi network in preference to 3G. You need to tell the Kindle to "forget" the WiFi networks that it's attempting to connect to; it will then use 3G.
