I couldn't understand it at first either. The guy typed in his Amazon email account and password and 5 minutes later all his details were downloaded from Amazon. He actually bought the Kindle DX though a friend, so the Kindle was pre-loaded with other account information when it arrived.
Then last night he turned it on and downloaded Sherlock Holmes book (freebie)! Now he's waiting for the end of the week to see whether there are any charges on his Amazon account for Whispernet (billed weekly apparently). According to his contacts with Amazon it should be free of charge.
I'm waiting for him to go ahead and actually buy something now, but he wants to see whether there are any Whispernet charges first before trying that.
