My brother is going to South Africa for a few Months while his wife works on a Movie.

I am currently investigating Wireless Coverage/Kindle versions support on my own.

My Question is this, assuming he can get whispernet(type) coverage there, is there a way for him to access the US store from a South African friendly kindle version?

Or is he best just to plan on using his laptop to purchase books from Amazon US and transfer via USB.

also if he ended up with a Non-US region kindle are there any considerations for using it here (obviously 3G network is not the same)

Thoughts?

I have a US Model here and its working fine. You will have to pay a data charge of 1.99 for periodicals. Otherwise change the location to SA and you can still buy books just cost slightly more.
