Think about a classic e-book reader and there is only one name that comes to everybody’s mind and that is the Kindle 3G, a product of Amazon. It is an e-book reader that is filled with features and is also light and portable and a much better option than carrying loads of book whenever you are travelling. Kindle is a better choice as compared to the other e-book readers that are available in the market as it is linked to the Amazon account that you have. So purchasing books is a not a problem. There have been certain problems that have been reported in the past that this e-book reader does not function well in countries other than the US. This is partially true and there things that can be done to correct the problem. Here is a list of all the countries where the Kindle 3G works.
Charge your Kindle 3G before your trip
The Kindle 3G must be loaded with all your favourite book before you set out on your journey. Once this is done all you need to do is charge your tablet at regular intervals so that the battery does not drain out. Also, there are chances that the network may not work when you are outside the US so it will be a prudent decision to load your e-book reader with e-books before you set out on the journey, rather than while you are travelling.
How does Kindle 3G work?
The functioning of the Kindle3G is simple. It uses the internet with the help of the Wi-fi or 3G network (whichever is available). The e-book reader was available only in the US previously but that is not the case anymore as the Global 3G wireless version has been launched by the company. The new versions of the Kindle can be used practically anywhere and there in no problem if you take them outside the country.
Using older versions of Kindle 3G
If you have the first model of the Kindle then you are in a bit of a trouble as this version does not work well outside the US and you will not be able to download anything while you are travelling and the only way that you will be all to load you e-book reader is by connecting it your computer that has an internet connection. You will first have to download the book or the magazine on your computer and then transfer it you’re your e-book reader. This sure is a tedious and time consuming task.
There are 77 countries where the Kindle 3G works perfectly without any glitch and as far as the problem with the older versions of the e-book reader is concerned, then I’ve mentioned what you need to do to solve your problem.
