I wasn't aware this was the case. I was curious and found the following on the Amazon site:

"Note: While connected to 3G, you can only access Amazon.com or Wikipedia in the Experimental Web Browser. Unrestricted web access is available by connecting your Kindle to a Wi-Fi connection."

BTW, the cost to add 3G connectivity when purchasing a new Paperwhite is $70.00, which seems a bit exorbitant given the above restriction (or perhaps I don't understand how this works). I wonder if you get this $70.00 back when you trade in a 3G-enabled Kindle.
