This was just what I was looking for. The comments that other inquirers made were also helpful. I feel ready to make my decision now.

Thanks for this. I am not a techie/ gamer or uber geek so this has helped me understand the basics that I am looking for. Made my decision and will go purchase tomorrow.
Cheers

I found this advice to be very sage. I am researching to find the right device for me to read ebooks only. I will not be purchasing the iPad in favor of a Kindle based partially on this review, as well as many others of the like. Thank you switch11

great info – dedicated readers will naturally gravitate to kindle. If I had an iPad I’d waste so much time surfing the web, etc.
Reading on kindle really is almost a book experience.
Now if you could dog-ear the kindle pages . . .

Best Kindle breakdown so far…Very clear and helpful for those who want a good e-reader with a few bells, but are cost conscious…Thanks!

Anne, WiFi costs vary a lot. Most countries have some cafes and/or coffee shops offering free WiFi that you could use to download books. Hotels and Airports tend to charge $10 to $15 a day and there are monthly plans for $30 to $45 a month. Some airports do have free WiFi – However, the service comes and goes (Heathrow and Schipol – only the paid ones worked for me).

If you get the 3G model AT&T might have an international plan.
There ought to be a way to download and transfer via PC – However, not sure how iBooks would work. Perhaps Apple customer service could help.

I travel a lot in europe. I know that kindle has access to ebooks worldwide. Would ipad work the same way or does having International internet mean very expensive wifi charges?

Thanks …Anne
