The South China Post already reported it. I'd think the Chinese authorities would have already picked the information up from that organ... .

"Every Kindle device is pre-registered to a personal account, so every user's information is clear," said an expert from the University of Hong Kong. So, perhaps the Chinese authorities are happy to leave a few loop holes in the Great Fire-Wall and scrutinise what those who wish to use them are saying?

Never has the term 'Whispernet' been more apt.

Thanks for posting, Harry.
