Personal opinions:
1. It's commercially a bit daft to limit your customer-base like that, particularly when the general consensus is they could create a larger market with only a little extra effort, even if it was a non-WiFi device. There are enough people buying the iLiad Book edition to make it a viable prospect
2. Amazon could make themselves very unpopular in the UK & EU if they're seen to be showing 'favouritism' to the US
3. If they leave it too long, it's a greater risk that there will be more competition in the market or, even more likely, people will already have committed to another device and built up a relationship with another company. At that point they would have to produce something exceptional to 'win over' the target audience to further expenditure on a new device.
Just think it's a bit silly to be so dismissive of the rest of the e-book-reader-buying world, actually.
