All that aside though, the OP appears to just want to be hostile. I have no sympathy for him though as it is obvious he just wanted something for free. That is, he thought he could buy a fairly inexpensive Paperwhite 3G and have FREE unlimited internet access without having to pay a cellular company for data.   Why on earth would Amazon provide free unlimited data?!? I think Amazon got burned on the KKB 3G models and quickly learned they had provided way more service than they wanted to pay for and did away with that on all subsequent Kindles. |
You are correct about one thing, my first reaction is hostility towards companies that say one thing and deliver another. You are also correct that I have not read much on this forum before buying - I apologize, I was unaware that I was required to read a forum on some corner of the internet before buying a product.
Also, in case you did not realize this, you pay an extra $60 for the 3G capable model, so by definition the 3G is not 'free'. The fact that you skipped over the part of my post mentioning my reasoning and desire for a connection is hardly shocking. You appear to enjoy belligerence more than you claim I do. You also appear to have not read the post that another member wrote about Calibre and a workaround for me.
So instead of contributing a useful post to this discussion, you talked trash and there was no value added.
