I have been using the 3g kindle to access instantcert from locations away from my computer. With the screen in landscape mode the flashcards are perfectly readable unlike on a tiny cell phone screen. This post is for anyone considering the device specifically to access instantcert since I was unable to find that information on the forum.
As a bonus, it is also a fantastic way to read books

I have not run into the issue on any book so far and it would not be a problem if you are brining in any non drm books. I do not think I would want to use it all the time since the mechanical reading can be hard to follow but it works great for occasional use.
