The Kindle does not have an e-mail application, but if your ISP provides a "webmail" system you may be able to use it via the Kindle's web browser. You are not, however, going to want to use the Kindle's keyboard to write long e-mails!
The Kindle is a book reader. If you want to buy one to read books, that's great, but don't buy one with the expectation of doing lots of web browsing on it; stick with your computer for that.
The Kindle is VERY easy to use; whoever told you that it was "not very clear" has misled you.

Thanks
It seems then that buying Kindle is a problem. It has been posted that you can use it for simple emails (not lots of webbrowsing).. But maybe not, after your info. My main need is book reading, but with the occasional email. If I did get Kindle, there's no point in getting the full 3G/WiFi functions.
The 'not very clear' refers to Kindle's descriptions of its products' functions and abilities. They say it can be used for Web Browsing - I took that to mean simple email sending/receiving. Wrong!
thanks again.
