[ubuntu-uk] Kindle and Ubuntu

[alan c]

I have a friend who has a laptop  with only Ubuntu on it, this was a 
deliberate decision. For various reasons they are now getting very 
interested in the Kindle, I understand there are models with WiFi of a 
couple of types (3g?). They do have a WiFi  network.

Anyone using a kindle with Ubuntu here please?
Any comments about how 'compatible' a Kindle will be with Ubuntu?
What functions of the product might be a problem?
