Just want to let you know that with the Kindle International version (both Kindle 2 and DX), the Whispernet now works perfectly in Hong Kong. Hope it helps. Hi Fpranee,

As of July, you still needed a credit card that mails to a US address to order books, magazines, etc... from <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/e-bookreaderstore-20" title="Amazon" rel="nofollow">. If you have that, then you can download your purchased items via the USB drive. You can also recharge your Kindle using the USB drive so there are no concerns about the voltage/plug conversion. You can also download PDFs to it even if it's in Chinese. The problem is that the whispernet function (ability to connect to the internet directly via the Kindle) does not work in HK. So, this limits the ability to get your periodicals automatically delivered to your Kindle daily. You would need to use the USB drive for that. We got the DX when in July in preparation for our move to HK. My husband wanted to purchase a lot of books in the US and print out PDFs which was just too bulky for the move. So, the DX has been great for us as our goal was access to US-published books anytime we want them and not worry about their bulkiness. But, you will not be able to take advantage of it full functions from HK. My husband has a Kindle DX.
