PW2 Wi-Fi International Web Browsing

Can I use the PW2 to browse the Internet using my Wi-Fi? Outside the U.S.?

I'm waiting for ages to have a solution where I can read books from Safari Books Online library...

Helllo,
Why shouldn't you be able to do that, you are not using Amazon network with WiFi. (Only 3G is limited to wikipedia and amazon.)

However in my experience the pw2 still makes a poor webbrowser and especially reading longer text in it is very painfull since there is no way "PageFwd" button, just regular scrolling.

Amazing. Thank you. I tried it with my current "keyboard" Kindle and it works. What a surprise - I tried it with my old KDX and it wouldn't work, and I never tried it again.

Feeling stupid right now

HOWEVER, now the screen feels so tiny (a feeling I don't have with regular Kindle books).

Waiting for the end of the year. I so hope they'll offer a larger screen kindle - a "paperwhite DX".

Thanks!
