What I see as a huge advantage to the average consumer, especially travellers and voracious readers--wifi/whispernet/whatever--on the Kindle may not work out so well outside the US. Am indeed keen to see how Amazon handles their internet access contracts in the UK, and to see how this affects the sales of both devices.
Lawyers, international copyright, convoluted contracts, these are reasons that Amazon's wispernet we likely not work internationally in the near future. And a reason why Sony's and Amazon's DRM'd bookstores are not operable internationally.
