Thanks for your reply. Apple and the Itunes store actually seem to use the country of your credit card and its address, not your physical location, to determine these sorts of licensing issues (this is what I was hoping Amazon does). Although if you read the actual Apple agreement, it says that you can't download content from the App store outside of your home country (yes I read it twice to confirm this -- then I emailed friends in other countries that use a USA credit card and they said they had had no problems).

Amazon updates its firmware on a fairly regular basis, when you turn on WiFi Whispernet will update in the background.
Awesome!
