We are also taking a car type gps as we plan on driving. I'm sure that kindle use in the UK is popular as here but would a unit purchased here work there? We also plan on getting a throw away cell phone to use while there. Any help would be appreciated, Gerry

If you go to the UK and download a bunch of out of copyright books (in the UK) from the Internet but then travel back to the US where those books are still in copyright, are you breaking US copyright law?
Same with books...if you go to England and photocopy "1984" and bring back the pages to the US, is that breaking US copyright law?
if not, I'd like to travel to Canada and download a couple gigs of books.
