Partial Truth: The Kindle is worthless outside the U.S. because of the lack of Whispernet.
Truth: If you live outside the U.S. and manage to get your hands on a Kindle you can still buy books and get them onto the Kindle even without access to Whispernet. Amazon allows you download your ebook purchases to your computer, so after downloading them you just use the USB cable to load the ebooks onto the Kindle.
Truth: Amazon only ships Kindles to U.S. addresses. So if you live outside the U.S. and want a Kindle you will need to have it shipped to a U.S. friend who will then ship it to you. (I'm not sure if Amazon checks the "billing address" of credit cards and won't sell a Kindle if it is not in the U.S.)
