But you have to register via WiFi and there is certainly a suggestion that you need WiFi to buy books.

Grrrrrr.
Don't tell you that on the adverts!

My bro will sort it out for her, but sadly it's meant that an £89 gift has been treated as a bit of a white elephant. Untrue, but with Mum's mood the way it is (understandable given recent events of course) her patience is low.

Bad Kimble.

The new color Kindle, the Fire, is wifi only, but not yet available in the UK. Looking at amazon.co.uk, the 89 quid model is wifi only, the 149 quid one with the keyboard has the 3G.

You can help your mom get content on it by connecting it to the computer. How do you get online at home?

And she'll be able to take it to the cafes with wifi and show it off to all of her admiring friends.

Or it could be a means of your getting home wifi ...

It does say wifi only in the advert, but you have to read a bit to figure that out.

Don't worry, we'll help you with it!
