I just got a really good condition Kindle 2 with the serial prefix of "B003". After looking at the Kindle 2 iFixit teardown, it looks like there is a full mini pci-e card slot inside. I have two questions about this.

Can the 3G modem be moved to another device like a laptop and still give 3G usage?

Can the 3G modem be swapped out for a Wifi one? Would be nice to use this e-ink display for displaying after the possibility of Amazon turning off 3G.
