- Is there a charge for 3G access?
- Is the TTS acceptable?
- I assume the international is bought through amazon.com but does it come with an English (or European) power plug?
- How much does it cost to bring over to the UK?
- Can I download books directly onto the kindle from the various free sites including here?
- Is the new Kindle (3?) going to be cheaper and offer more?

- Yes
- Yes
- Officially - just wikipedia. (also the kindle store, but thats not a webpage) SOME people also have full access.
- Perhaps - if you have full access then you can, but it's slow and frustrating.
- No
- Yes
- Micro-usb cable is uncluded to charge from a PC. The power adaptor is US style but not needed.
- Add it to your basket in Amazon and the total price is shown, there's no hidden charge. (£234.08)
- only if you have full internet access, but see the answer above about slow and frustrating.
- There's nothing official about Kindle 3, so your guess is as good as mine
The kindle is great, but if internet access is one of the main considerations for buying it, you may be looking at the wrong device.
