I *do* find web browsing to be a bit faster on K2 than on K1. I wrote a
short review about it using MobileRead as my test site.
On the whole I prefer to use my laptop for web surfing but while traveling from Texas to Florida and back by car this past week, when someone else was driving, I used my K2 several times to check my email and shop the Kindle store and it worked well but slow even in 3G mode (I did not take my laptop with me). I didn't try to do any other type of web surfing because I didn't need to.
Either Kindle is great in a pinch but if you plan to use the browser for long periods of time, make sure you use the mobile versions of sites and that you have easy access to power. My K2 only used half my battery power over the 7 days I was gone and I did check my email at least once a day (making sure to turn off the wireless when I was finished).
