Kindle Internet

[modeller]

I would like to get the Kindle mainly so I can read larger size print. I find the print in most soft back books is too small .
However I would like to be able to access the Internet. if that is also possible.
I have read many reviews and it is not clear if that is possible. Can I for instance use iGoogle or Bing search engines in the same way as I do on my PC or are there any limitations .?
I don't need to download anything apart from books . I just want to search for information.
I saw a small Kindle in PC world but it was not set up to do anything apart from viewing a page of print.
There are several versions so which one would best meet my requirements.
One other question is there any difference between a Tablet and an ereader. ?
