You could go there to download books onto the Kindle and then read them anywhere. My town's library has free wireless too. I used that until Amazon got my 3G set up properly. |
I returned the Kindle 3G today (about $14 for shipping+ins+deliv conf). I'm disappointed that Amazon's 3G coverage map is very misleading--in fact, it's erroneous. The rep told me there was nothing that they could do about the coverage. The map was the reason I opted for the 3G model instead of the wi-fi unit.
Aside from my ranting
, I appreciate your suggestions but I would rather download purchased books from home. I wanted the 3G for when I was not at home and wanted to access Wikipedia and the web.
So now I'm looking at some other readers but I'm keeping the wi-fi Kindle in mind because it certainly has a very attractive price. Decisions, decisions...
