Any of you that has a Kindle in Canada (Ontario, and we go camping in Algonquin Park near Huntsville), have you been able to access webpages with the 3G network? I know you can in the US but I've heard that the browser is not accessible in Canada, or is that the older model?
Thanks in advance for your replies!

Yes, you can use the 3G to access web pages, without charge. Whether you'll have a 3G signal is strictly a matter of coverage. If you're remote enough that a Rogers cell phone doesn't have a signal, then you probably don't have WhisperNet either.
