I'll second what Elsi said. Not sure if it's bandwidth (I live in a marginal reception area) or the implementation of the browser on the Kindle, but it is painfully slow. I use it pretty often to look up something on Wiki related to whatever I'm reading, but it's laborious. I love being able to get additional context for whatever I'm reading without having to put down my book and go to my computer. But I wouldn't consider using my Kindle for run of the mill web browsing.
