Just had a great idea.

Since the Kindle uses 3G is it possible for one kindle to talk to a friends kindle?

Or must it communicate with Amazon through whisper net only?

In any case since kindles use wi-fi why can't one kindle talk to another kindle and thus create a new kindle network which forms a second internet for emergency use such as after world war 3 or a terrorist attack or a power outage?

Kindle to kindle wi-fi could also allow you to share your bookmarks and notes as well as browse other people files and books,sent sms,email,instant messaging,etc.

You could even have kindle clubs and groups.

How can we get one kindle to talk to or access another kindle through wi-fi?
