IPhone – Can a WiFi-only Kindle connect to the internet through an iPhone

iphone

I'm considering getting a Kindle, but am still doubting as to whether the 3G model is worth the extra expense. As I'm also considering getting an iPhone later: on the off chance that I'd ever want to buy a book without a WiFi hotspot nearby, wouldn't it be possible to share an iPhone's 3G connection with the Kindle through WiFi and hence buy a book and read it on the WiFi-only Kindle?

Best Answer

You have to jailbreak the iPhone and install an expensive program called MyWi 4.0 (check spelling) from Cydia. This allows the iPhone to host a wifi network that a Kindle can connect to.

Ask if you need more details, I'm on my iPhone now so don't want to type much :)
