I wasn't suggesting that Amazon riddle the globe with Wi-Fi spots, rather offer it at places when it isn't available and people will want to purchase books, like major train stations, bus depots, airports, harbors. My reaction comes from being used to having access to free Wi-Fi (obviously not everywhere) and suddenly being deprived of it. Had I known about the situation in Japan I would likely have loaded up on more books, but I just figured I wouldn't have any problems getting access.
Most hotels offered LAN cables (Ethernet) in their rooms. Is there a small battery powered Wi-Fi router you could connect to a LAN cable like that?
