Kindle Touch and Paperwhite: no. You can browse Wikipedia only, and shop in the Amazon store.

That's quite a bothersome restriction then, when they sold it (and even now) they still advertise the entire browser as unrestricted and free. Are they actually acting on this, or is it a failsafe "I warned you" clause?
Where are you actually quoting that from? It's not from the kindle keyboard ToS, nor from the Wireless Connectivity section of the Kindle ToU, nor from the store page; "Your Kindle Keyboard 3G may use wireless connectivity to make other services available", "Your Kindle uses wireless connectivity to allow you to shop for and download Digital Content." (where Digital Content is previously defined to include RSS, blogs, etc). The wording is a bit strange, because in all three of these other sources Amazon explicitly says that there are non-Amazon services that can be accessed using the Kindle. But perhaps it's just clumsy wording (or the aforementioned un-enforced "I warned you" clause).
And yes I have read the stickies.

That's disturbing, I bought my kindle internationally, and have used it in many countries without any kind of email or notification being sent to me. It also contradicts their advertising...
