Can Amazon Kindle be used with regular wireless home network if traveling oversea?

Doctor Dad asked:


I love Amazon Kindle but I will be away from USA for some time and was wondering if I would be able to connect Kindle to the network via regular home network via wireless connection.
Thanks for your help.

   I have just ordered mine and it shoud arrive today (yay!), so I’m not exactly talking from experience here, but…
   From what I understand, the Kindle uses Sprint’s cellular telephone network to deliver its content in the States. This cannot be used when travellig overseas. However, you can plug the Kindle to your computer via USB cable and download your purchases this way. You can do this through the Manage Your Kindle link on the Amazon site. This also means that if you wish to purchase anything while overseas, you would have to do it through your computer, as the wireless feature won’t work.

   I hope this helps!
