Kindle Questions: Will My Original Kindle, Kindle 2, or Kindle DX Get International Wireless?
Amazon debuted global versions of their Kindle family of devices in recent months. These global wireless versions are able to get the Amazon Whispernet service just about anywhere in the world.
Unfortunately, if you purchased any version of the Kindle device before the global versions were released, your device will not receive global wireless. The 6″ Kindle was released in a global version on October 19, 2009 and the 9.7″ Kindle DX was released in a global version on January 19, 2010. If you wish to receive global wireless, and you received your Kindle before these dates, you will need to purchase one of the new Kindles.
The global Kindle is available in both a 6-inch version

I have the latest generation Kindle 2. I successfully downloaded e-books to it in France this month. Really pleased with how well it works out here. No issues.
