The reader is a minor one time purchase. Overpriced ebooks is where the retailers make money. Why do ebooks cost so much more than the paperback version? Why can I share a paperback book but not an ebook? Until this situation is improved this avid reader is sticking to paper. We should keep focus not on the reader cost but the books.

The question remains if the wireless connection will work in the other countries while travelling. according to the specs it is one specific unit and doesn't need to be programmed individually per country. go to http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015T963C/ref=sv_kinh_0 and select "click here to see important specific to your Country".There it states the following "Free Wireless: Free 3G wireless lets you download books right from your Kindle. No monthly fees, service plans, or hunting for Wi-Fi hotspots. For non-U.S. customers, there are also no additional charges for wireless delivery outside your home country.
