I've struck that model from the UK Reference column although I'm leaving in the link in case they decide to carry it later.<br /><br /> Since cases are on sale for the two Kindle Keyboards in the U.S. the Keyboard model MIGHT mean it will not be 'renewed' if they do sell them all (which would be the end of free 3G web browsing even if slow, but I hope not. I want the Landscape mode and the physical keyboard so I can see the full page when typing etc...)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-63139020413782165382011-11-02T12:56:09.260-07:002011-11-02T12:56:09.260-07:00It may be that in some places Amazon UK is referin...It may be that in some places Amazon UK is refering to the "Kindle Keyboard" as the 3G version, but in general they are using the terms "Kindle" and "Kindle Keyboard 3G", and when they did offer the wifi-only model too it was by contrast the "Kindle Keyboard" - see http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kindle-Wireless-Reader-Wifi-Graphite/dp/B002Y27P46/ref=sr_1_1<br /><br />Indeed those are the terms you're showing in your sidebar under "The New Kindles" which suggests that there are three models available in the UK.<br /><br />Your meaning was clear: I was only nitpicking, something I'm rather prone to, I'm afraid.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165803719134905047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-51199842538181246872011-11-02T12:27:15.579-07:002011-11-02T12:27:15.579-07:00I'm glad you are back from vacation, Andrys. ...I'm glad you are back from vacation, Andrys. So many Kindle things are happening, and we need you to report on them. First, we find that the Kindle Touch 3G will only have limited access to the internet. Then we find that the Touch probably won't do landscape mode. Then we find that the Kindle SO (special offers) are now limited to one special offer per account, not per kindle as it originally was. Lastly Gizmodo reports that 1Q84 can only be downloaded to one device. Fortunately, that was an Amazon glitch, as noted finally by gizmodo. It seems like every day there is more bad Kindle news.<br />I'm glad you're back to report your findings and ferret it all out.Betty Reednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-70367528706264059932011-11-02T10:15:23.114-07:002011-11-02T10:15:23.114-07:00Stephen, I'm on the Amazon UK page and at the ...Stephen, I'm on the Amazon UK page and at the bottom of the Kindle Basic, it says:<br /><br /> "Also Available<br /> Kindle Keyboard 3G/(Free 3G + WiFi) for £149"<br /><br />and if you click on it, it takes you to the product page where it says, "In stock"...<br /><br />and that's what I referred to re the free 3G Kindle 3 or Kindle Keyboard...<br /><br /> I don't think they've offered the WiFi-only for some time. The Kindle 3 with 3G is a great buy though. I am buying the Touch only because I blog on the Kindle and have to know about it :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-37143804571247715512011-11-02T09:59:19.813-07:002011-11-02T09:59:19.813-07:00At the moment in the UK, the only options are the ...At the moment in the UK, the only options are the "Kindle" (Kindle Basic) at £89 or the Kindle Keyboard 3G at £149 [$238] - the Kindle Keyboard (wifi only) is no longer offered.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165803719134905047noreply@blogger.com
