Discovered no 3G coverage in Oakland, CA hills (10 miles from SFO). Amazon's map showed full 3G coverage. Had to use the home wifi. Will be interesting to see how 3G works in Anaheim.

WHICH BRINGS AN INTERESTING POINT: is the 3G free usage subject to some "small writing" clause - i.e. you have to buy ONE book per month (say) or something like that?. Could it be that the average Kindle user will buy few books anyway ( main use) and they do not happen to notice the clause? @tim (29 january comment – NOT the tim with the picture)

It contains information on around 1000 websites so far. All the websites it links to can be viewed on a Kindle without the user needing to change their text or screen settings, making it much easier to surf using a Kindle. The site has been an instant success, with lots of people emailing it to thank the developer for building it, and describing how it had made having 3G on their Kindle all the more worth while. I would love you to also find the time to review it and share this site with your readers as I want every Kindle user to get to know this site and what unexpected things it can let them do with a Kindle.

Purely as an ebook reader, it is also better than an iPad in my opinion - smaller, handier, readable in sunlight.
