Have you looked at the comparisons at the beginning of this thread (on page 1)?

I have the 3G Kindle keyboard and wouldn't swap it for anything. As for downloading attachments onto the Kindle, I'm not sure that's going to be very easy as general web browsing and emails are fiddly and not really for proper use. The 3G is very useful though, I use it when on holiday and also if I'm away from home and want to check a book on Amazon.

Yes i have looked at it..just need some first hand info from the users too..with regards to using the web are any of the kindles good for that? I think something like jst checkin emails on hotmail etc and maybe occasional download of some attachments is what he would need.

will keep in mind the point of 3G being good on hols.

A little bit about him and his reading habits. Just so you know what would be best suited for him - He loves reading everywhere and anywhere....constantly buying book after book and when he knows a new one has come out by a certain author he must have it.At home he reads mostly before he is going to bed,much to my annoyance, as he must keep the light on. On the weekends he will sit at a cafe or in the park reading or when he is waiting in the car for me after doing my shopping.

He is an accountant by profession so he is also constantly on his work blackberry looking at emails etc....unfortunately he doesnt have internet on his phone so the only access he can have online is when he is on his pc at work/home. We have wi-fi at home too. There are times when he has to open up attachments etc on his blackberry and due to the size they dont show up well.

He is a rather clumsy person by nature, always dropping things etc.

I am very stuck with this Kindle stuff because I have not really come across many users and my hubby as been on and on about it but never got one. I think he also thinks of the price etc...but i think if it can be multipurpose used then its worth the spend and so now im going to spoil him for a change.

nways any help u can give me would b appreciated. thank you
