Is the global wireless free 3G access intended to browse and download books from amazon or can you browse the web with it.? If so, does amazon block certain sites.?
I had bought a Kindle wi-fi (not 3G) for a friend of me two months ago. But if the 3G version lets you browse the web (newspaper websites and check e-mail), I am kinda sure he would get another one as the device is mostly awesome.
TIA

You can browse, painfully slowly. You'd be better off saving your pennies for a real tablet.

Browsing with an e-ink display is no fun at all, but that's not what they excel at anyway. There still isn't an LCD that competes with them when you want to read for hours at a time.

The browser is "experimental" but you can browse anywhere and see the web in stunning black and white.
