Hi all,

I am in the market for a reader, but am unsure what to do...

From everything I've read about the Kindle, it looks rather nice [I like the keyboard, Wikipedia access, Whispernet et al], from the standpoint of someone in the US. I however, am NOT in the US, and so this gives me a little bit of grief.

I know (after you lovely members all helped me ) that the Global Wireless Kindle shipped to the UK cannot surf, cannot access links from documents (like the feedbooks guide and newspapers) and all around is a bit not-as-good-as-I'd-like.

There are few things that I still don't know though. The first is about buying books - does it really cost extra to order books over here [in the UK]? (I mean bank fees etc).

The other thing that I don't know if is it's still worth it! So, Kindle owners around the world, I pose you a question: is the Kindle without surfing, feedbook newspapers and internet still good? Do you regret it?

So, thats all for now.
