Kindle 3G uses mobile phone network signal to connect to internet. The connection to the internet allows a user to place an order and download eBooks from Amazon’s Kindle where house from anywhere. The access to 3G is free of charge. Kindle 3G covers most parts in Canada especially Alberta. The presence of 3G kindle in Canada allows a user to have wireless connection to Amazon international website free of charge and to purchase and download eBooks instantly.
Sometimes additional services like personal file download and subscriptions always come with a fee. This is because wireless network is offered by a third party. Therefore, there is no guarantee that the internet will remain the same. Greatly, it will be impacted by situations that would result to modifications or even loss of the signal. When internet coverage goes down, Kindle Touch will allow a user to download eBook using home computer’s internet connection with 3G as only added convenience in order to download books anytime and anywhere without essentially looking for Wi-Fi hotspot.
Kindle 3G eBook download is generally delivered instantly i.e. within 60 seconds, provided that you are covered by 3G network. However, the size of the file can greatly affect the speed of downloading and information transfers. In addition, Canada is not covered by Whisper net and therefore Amazon has Whisper net as the 3G cellular data service. This limits downloading of personal documents and files in other countries like Canada.
