Of course, it wouldn't be anywhere near as convenient as Whispernet. Then again, there are so many wi-fi hotspots around these days, it might not be too bad.

What are your thoughts?
I'd be happy to buy a European version of the Kindle that didn't have wireless access at all, and transfer books via USB.
