thanks all for the input. That pretty much answers one of my concerns...that is that it will be hard to navigate to download a bunch of books from sites other than Amazon. Like i said earlier we have never paid for a book in the 2 years we've had the Kindle, I never go through Amazon for any books. My main source of free books right now is "PROJECT GUTENBERG" and my concern was if I could connect right to their web site and do downloads directly on the Kindle wifi, or if it would be too cumbersome and time consuming. From what i"m reading it will be too time consuming and would be easier to continue what I was doing, that is download free books from GUTENBERG onto my computer then transfer the books to the Kindle.

You are better off using a laptop to do the same thing or an old PC if size is not an issue. With a PC you can search the web to find what you want to play before going there. It is much harder to do with a small display on these devices.

No...the security setting is a separate section in the routher configuration. Just sign on to the router, and look for a security section.

Update on my original post. I did buy the thermostat from Lowes which is part of their home automation system called Iris. I originally liked it, although to get all the advantages I had to get their service at $10/month. I could track my temperature usage using my iPhone or my desktop computer. Then, about a year later, they discontinued the model of hub and sent me a new one (for free). I am very dissatisfied with the new service, it won't work with the desktop computer. But, most of all, their service is very poor. When I call, it may take an hour or more on hold before I get someone, and the most that person will give me is "I don't know". Before I switched hubs, I needed another WiFi thermostat for my new vacation home, so I got another Iris one, this time with the same, lame hub. Same problems and, in addition, the thermostat itself failed with no compensation from Lowes. The heating installer recommended a Honeywell 9000 series, which he got and installed. It works very well, so when I needed another Tstat for another zone, I got another and installed it myself (the box says "Pro", but I had no problem). Honeywell has a nice free service (mytotalconnectcomfort) which keeps track of my heating and if the tstat fails to connect, I get periodic messages telling me so (usually this is caused by either a router/cable-supplied internet failure or a power failure). I'm thinking about replacing my Iris tstat at my primary residence with the same model Honeywell, just to get the peace of mind of knowing that it's working. The 9000 series Honeywell cost $215, but they have many look-alikes at Home Depot and Lowes for about half that price, and I don't know what the difference is. I would like to have this new one on the same Honeywell as the ones I already have. Any input here?
