  • I assume the international is bought through amazon.com but does it come with an English (or European) power plug?
  • Can I download books directly onto the kindle from the free sites or here?
3g works pretty well for me in scotland.

It's full web for now with 2.5.2 in the uk, works like a good smartphone from a couple of years ago.

You will get charged if you send stuff to the device via whispernet that's not a book bought from amazon. other wise it's free, though i'd expect an email if you started using it extremely heavily.

the tts is ok but i hardly use it

It will charge you can use any mobile phone charger with the correct plug to charge the kindle or plug it in to a usb port with the supplyed cable

If the book is in the correct format you can plug the kindle in to your pc with the supplied micro usb cable to add content, it mounts as a mass stoage device so its pretty easy.
