Yes, web-browsing is primitive and clunky to say the least. On the other hand, if you have the 3G version and don't have a smart phone, your Kindle can be a poor-man's smart phone in a pinch (say you need directions, or to find an address or a nearby restaurant in a strange place, or you really just can't wait to see if anyone replied to your latest post). Mine has come in handy that way on a few occasions.
