But I think BYOSC (bring your own sim card) is the only solution since there are so many carriers in Europe/Asia. US/Australia you have the country wide carriers.

I still think it's a very strange business decision if jinke forces customers to pay for a 3G option with or without a subscription. At the end of the day it's a book reader and surely it should just be an option if we wish to pay more to get 3G access !

I will happily pay for the option to have wifi and if there is no wifi I'm going to wonder why I've waited and not bought the basic ez reader/bebook instead, especially since I could have got it months ago when the aussie dollar was actually worth more than a couple of peanuts.
