I'm delighted with this Kindle, but here are some practical problems for users outside the US:
-The power adaptor is American. It accepts 220 volts, but you need a converter.
-Operating system, manual and dictionary is English only, if you have problems with that, wait till they prepare a multi- lingual version
-Text-to-speech, which reads the text aloud to you, is American English only.
-Newspaper subscriptions deliver text-only version to international users. I can do without colours, but miss the photos and graphics.
-Google and Internet does not work outside the US. You do, however, get access to Wikipedia, English version.
With these minor adjustments this is a magnificent global reading device. Whispernet delivers your newspaper wherever you are (as long as you are within mobile telephone coverage)Get more detail about Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G, 9.7" Display, Graphite, 3G Works Globally – Latest Generation.
