K1 vs K2 whispernet coverage
Interesting. Amazon has increased the coverage area to include parts of Montana and Alaska, but ONLY for the K2.

Because of the new upgraded modem?

"Connectivity: EVDO modem with fallback to 1xRTT; utilizes Amazon Whispernet to provide U.S wireless coverage via Sprint's 3G high-speed data network. Check our wireless coverage map for availability. This expanded coverage is only available for Kindle 2. See Wireless Terms and Conditions."
