Makes sense to do a partnership with food and coffee shops and would explain why its listed as something called Sponsored Hotspots in the Kindle firmware. I wonder if they'll do a Nook (or iPhone) and add exclusive content which you can only access when you're at one of these places. Starbucks with access to a book of the day or something.
