Interesting question - I would be interested in the debate (growing stronger by the day) that Kindles and other such devices will now have to be factored into the provision of AT.
All the best

Dear all
Not strictly AT, but close.
As someone who has not made physical contact with a kindle, I can't find out for certain whether all "Kindle Keyboards" have both wifi & 3g, or is 3g an optional extra?
Kindle's user friendliness meant that on our recent pagebot setup, the kindle latched on to the client's wifi without asking questions.
(Although it was actually set up registered to the purchasing authority, not the user!)
I'm just a little uncomfortable when recommending which Kindle to buy.
