So all they can do is say the 'area' around your house is within a coverage area. But they will steer clear of any promises of reception.

Much easier to simply offer a generous return policy (which they do).
Yep. And they have this on their site:
Checking Wireless Coverage: To see if wireless coverage is available for your area, please use our Contact Us form, or call 1-866-321-8851 Monday through Friday 6am-8pm Pacific Time, Saturday and Sunday, 6am-5pm Pacific Time.

Note: There is no wireless coverage available currently on Sprint's data network for Kindle in Montana and Alaska.
