You can only use the 3g to download books and it works anywhere you have a signal. You can't use the net with it. You have to surf the net using wi-fi and it's not very easy. The part where you actually touch is the only color part and it's pretty small. If you are in a wi-fi hotspot, you are better off using a laptop to surf.
