Check this page http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...deId=201009920
There is also map of 3G coverage

The way I understand:
- she can use 3G to download books
- she can use WiFi to download anything
- she has to pay fee if she uses 3G to browse or to download subscriptions (magazines, newspapers, etc)
