Sorry I should have referred to the GSM technologies when referring to the 100 countries, not necessarily Amazon user account availability. The article also state:

"The 3G Kindle uses global system mobile (GSM) communication technology, which gives WiFi coverage in more than 100 countries, including China. The WiFi-only Kindle would rely on a local Internet connection

This seem to indicate that using WiFi connectivity would probably involve censorship. I think that the user can only get by the censorship while using the GSM network.
