Harry, I have a 'DumbPhone' in that it's about 10years old and only makes calls and texts; it doesn't take pics or receive them or connect to the internet. It used to have WAP internet connection, but I don't think that works anymore. I only use it when meeting someone and giving them my ETA etc.

I access the internet soley through my computer. I'd rather browse Amazon via the pc too. The only disadvantage I can see of not being able to access the internet on the reader is the inability to use the wikipedia look-up. If I really need to I can do that on my pc which is never far away and usually only hibernating.

So I think I'll bite the bullet and order a Paperwhite.

Thanks everyone. Look forward to seeing you in the Kindle dept in the future.
