What standalone functions will Kindle Fire be able to do in Canada, on a wi-fi

[writer01]

Hello, I am in Canada. Now I realize the Kindle Fire won't be in Canada for some time, and that services from Amazon here are sketchy at best. But what I want to know is this, if I buy one from a pre-order auction site in the U.S., and bring it here, can I use it for basic web browsing (amazon cloud turned off - I read somewhere this is a user configurable option), transfering music files from my pc, downloading open source public books and readers, etc...using it as a basic wi-fi access tablet. Will this work, or is the browser not a true stand alone one? Will I then have to wait for a jailbreak procedure to get an open android installed? Thank you in advance to answers.

Maybe you can create an account on Amazon.com and get full access to all the cloud features.
I doubt it will be long until you can buy them from Amazon.ca. Probably before Christmas.

In the very alike situation...looking forward to the answers. But I think it will be OK since Amazon has said you may bring your documents everywhere.

Welcome to the site. Have you attempted to get some answers from Amazon? I would think they would support their Canadian market. Hoping for the best.

Hi everyone,

I have the same question but my location is Philippines. Will this work here in the Philippines?
