Here it is straight from the official "amazon kindle keyboard support" page: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...deId=200505470 An amazon policy change announced 2012 July 1 added this text: "The Experimental Web Browser is currently only available for some customers outside of the United States and may be limited to 50MB of browsing over 3G per month. This limit does not apply when customers are browsing over Wi-Fi." And there is a dedicated MobileRead thread that confirms it: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=185765 And there is a lot more information if you know how to use Google. You really should at least try a minimal effort to do your own research before posting doubtful comments like you did. It makes you appear to be much more foolish than you (probably) are. You might want to edit your post. Last edited by geekmaster; 07-23-2012 at 04:21 PM. |

Since the 50MB limit was the only part he stated as fact, apparently he assumed that your questioning of Amazon as a source applied to that part. Moving on. |

@WillysJeepMan: The following quotes were posted some time ago at a very high-traffic web site that is very popular with the script-kiddie crowd:

You DO know how to use Google, right? For that matter, did you even BOTHER to read the amazon page? I hope Anon's leading comment above does not apply to you too. Last edited by geekmaster; 07-23-2012 at 04:40 PM. |

You then went on to complain about the selfishness of those who abused the 3G service when you have absolutely no proof that what they did caused Amazon to institute a cap. Quote:

@WillysJeepMan: "No doubt" at the front of anything written in English is a lead-in for a personal opinion. It is an idiom that means "my educated guess is". I realize that idioms often do not translate well, but the forum rules do not say to avoid idioms.
Just because you did not understand my intent is no reason to be disrespectful. You really sound like you are trying to defend YOUR 3G tethering behavior here in your posts. Are you? Last edited by geekmaster; 07-23-2012 at 04:48 PM. |

Here is a quote from another member at the "script kiddie" site who is (apparently) trying to bring the 50MB (or worse) data cap to the USA too:

That sounds like a slanderous suggestion. You know, the sort of thing you were outraged about when you said it was done to you?

I did have "sound like" in that statement, which means that it was my personal opinion and not a statement of fact, but yes, when I get riled up I say stupid stuff too, just like the other guy. Mea culpa. But I am still curious about the answer to that question, because TO ME it sounded like my opponent was (vaguely) supporting 3G tethering behavior. But this thread needs to get back on topic now as requested by geoffwood.
