Amazon answers Kindle Touch 3G web browsing availability - Page 2

My new Kindle Keyboard 3G came today. Yes, unrestricted internet browsing is possible. But its slow response and requirement to use the 4 way cursor makes it a pain to use.

Good to know thank you Andy.

I will get a second Kindle 3 and will make it a 3G model this time.

I should mention that the 9.7" Kindle DX Graphite is on sale from Nov. 24-28 for Black Friday Weekend, at $120 off -- it's selling for $259 instead of $379.

It has 3G only, no Wifi. And it has the same free 3G slow web browsing situation as the smaller Kindle Keyboard.

The fact that the K3 is slow is the reason Amazon can keep doing it. The KTouch has an obviously faster processor, web is pretty fast, and the direct-touch access to links make it so usable that Amazon would lose money paying the data charges for that.

I added the DX details last night at http://bit.ly/kwdx259

I got my k3-3G from Amazon when my K2 died, and they let me trade it it. I've now had a chance to try the internet on my k3, and either I've still got free 3G on it, or there was a wifi hot spot out in the middle of the country. I live in SE Michigan.
