i use my kindle 3 with 3g in china just fine. whispernet works fine, the browser works fine (just tried www.google.com). you have to go to the manage kindle web page and change your region to usa. then again, i don't really care for the browser, if i wanted browsing, i'd have bought an ipad or used my laptop, web is about color. the kindle to me is just an excellent reading device, the battery life is excellent, the form factor is excellent. i can't complain about anything really and the thing i like the most is the e-ink display, it's easy on the eyes. added bonus is all the free classics you can download from amazon such as charles dickens and mark twain, i literally downloaded 100 classics.
