Kindle comes to Canada without browser

** Why do things always get downgraded when it comes to Canada??? Still kind of want one though.


The Kindle e-book reader is now available to Canadians, Amazon.com announced Tuesday, but without some key features. The e-reader sells on Amazon.com for $259 US, plus import fees, which the website says will be about $31 per Kindle. The e-reader will be able to wirelessly download books, magazines and newspapers over a 3G cellular network called Whispernet on AT&T's global network, Kinley Campbell of Amazon.com said.


The e-reader's web browser and blog subscription service will not work in Canada, according to the description on Amazon.com, but customers will have free access to Wikipedia.
