That is an odd (and confusing) statement, and it makes me wonder how well he knows the device. I can download .mobi books directly onto the device using 3G on my K3 browser. So is he saying that the Kindle Touch 3G is different? Or does he not know what he's talking about?
Others have been reporting that they've had email replies, conversations, and chats with Amazon CS representatives who have assured them that 3G web browsing is included on the new Kindle Touch 3G.
If any of you have contact with Amazon CS regarding this matter and they tell you that 3G web browsing
is included, please request that Amazon reword these
two statements (my bold) on their
Kindle Touch 3G product page ASAP:
WebKit-Based Browser:
Kindle Touch 3G's experimental web browser is based on WebKit. It's easy to find the information you're looking for right from your Kindle Touch 3G.
Experimental web browsing is available via Wi-Fi.
Battery Life:
A single charge lasts up to two months with wireless off based upon a half-hour of daily reading time. Keep wireless always on and it lasts for up to 3 weeks. Battery life will vary based on wireless usage, such as shopping the Kindle Store, downloading content, and web browsing (
browsing available only in Wi-Fi mode).
The information on Amazon's product pages is what most people go by when making purchasing decisions. It needs to be accurate.
