There is one chip for the US and Canada and another chip for the rest of the globe. I believe that this is reflected in the serial number so Amazon knows what they are dealing wtih. Both work globally. No issues.

Sorry ProfCrash - just realised I've been consistently getting your name wrong.
I wonder if the chip is the only difference or if anything else is restricted? Otherwise I think I'd be tempted with by the Kindle Touch.
Just watched a demo of the Touch and I do like the page turning, though there are some more fiddly operations like pinching in/out to change font size. I just don't know how she's going to cope with fine controls on either device. So it will probably come down to outside help in the end which is sad.
I wish Amazon had stores like Apple, then I'd go and try them all out
properly.
Thanks
David.
