Amazon Dumps Overseas Web Access on International Kindle

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on October 13, 2009 - 11:05am.
San Francisco - Amazon.com's (NASD: AMZN) new international version of its Kindle e-book reader will not feature wireless Internet connectivity, at least at launch, Wired.com reports.

Amazon pays for the 3G network connectivity that American Kindle owners enjoy, currently provided via AT&T.

Wired.com notes that Europe has enviable 3G network coverage, but hefty roaming charges could be coming into play -- and Amazon may opt to sign individual deals with local mobile network operators in the countries in which it sells the Kindle.
