Ever since Amazons Kindle 2 arrived in Gadget Labs Spanish Bureau (aka my apartment), I have been trying to restore its lost functionality. Finally, with some rather annoying account jiggery-pokery, I have enabled full (and free) web access and I can now buy any book I like from the Kindle Store.
To recap, the Kindle International edition shipped in a somewhat crippled state, with access to a (rather small) subset of the Kindle Stores contents, and with 3G web browsing limited to the Kindle Store itself and to Wikipedia (and worse, the U.S. Wikipedia). Also, there are no for-pay blogs, and no pictures in newspapers. To be fair to Amazon, these problems are caused by international publishing rights and by the wireless carrier AT&T, but it is still a pain.
