DXG does not support wireless. From my understanding, Kindle 3 should support the UST wireless without problem. I got a Kindle DXG to replace the previous DX. DXG does not support wireless.

Now there is a cheap wifi-only version (kindle-3, 6''), but my only concern is that I don't know whether it can use the UST sMobile network. Do you have any experience on connecting a Kindle using Wifi in HKUST? Hi Michael, I am also from HKUST and considering buying a kindle as well.

And it is great. It really is a good device. It doesn't do much, but what is does, it does beautifully. Very nice :) After doing some research about price, screen size and PDF support, I ended up buying the Amazon Kindle DX. And it is great. It really is a good device.

Chinese clones may have the same hardware, but the software and user experience may not match Kindle's. Following Wei's thoughts, I think the solution is to introduce an iPad with both a LED screen and an e-ink screen. We can navigate on one, and when we need to read large chunks of text, we can switch to the other. I bet such a device will be extremely popular in the future.
