Body: <p>I had a 3G Kindle back in the day (2 years ago), and one of my favourite features as a traveller was the whispernet experimental web browser.  It was slow as a dog, but hey, free internet in most countries - the only country I visited that year where it didn't work was Bosnia!</p>
  
  <p>Then it died a sad death.</p>
  
  <p>Now I'm looking at buying a new Kindle, and I'm finding it hard to establish which Kindles - of all the modern variants - still have a web browser with this free slow-as-a-dog internet available?  Fire? Touch? Others?</p>

  I had a 3G Kindle back in the day (2 years ago), and one of my favourite features as a traveller was the whispernet experimental web browser. It was slow as a dog, but hey, free internet in most countries - the only country I visited that year where it didn't work was Bosnia!
  
  Then it died a sad death.
  
  Now I'm looking at buying a new Kindle, and I'm finding it hard to establish which Kindles - of all the modern variants - still have a web browser with this free slow-as-a-dog internet available? Fire? Touch? Others?
