And you have to download the .AZW ebooks through Amazon's Whispernet-which means you have to download it directly into the Kindle via their proprietary cell-phone network!

That creates two problems. First, getting the .AZW ebooks out of the Kindle and into the PC. Second, as this is a US-only phone network, getting those same ebooks overseas.

Yep. The Amazon Kindle is a solution seeking both a problem *AND* a customer base.

And did you all notice the price per book?

I hate to say this, but I will anyway, NAEB and Sony are in deep shit now.

The price of books and delivery method for the Kindle is going to be a winner. Plus the selection. Face it, Amazon has one the war in less then one day.
