Last November I bought a Kindle DX, my first ereader. I like the large screen for its less-frequent page turns and that it will render a pdf in a usable (though not perfect) way. I now want to get a Kindle Voyage but in browsing at Amazon I happened to notice the DX is again up for sale at a reasonable price. I like my DX so much that I'm considering purchasing another while they last.

The Voyage I would get is the 3G with special offers, $269. The DX is the same price as a year ago, $199, as is the excellent Amazon cover for it, $9.99, both with free shipping.

I'm leaning toward the Voyage because of its features but my decision will probably hinge on the nature of the Voyage's 3G. Can anyone tell me exactly what the Voyage's browser will do? Will it freely roam the web like the DX, or is it restricted to Wikipedia and social network sites?
