Well, Harry, while you can't use the whispernet features (ie amazon.com purchase/download and wikipedia etc) you still should be able to upload books to it via the card or the usb cable. I'm outside the us and don't have a kindle so I can't confirm...but that's my understanding.
The kindle has a full keyboard which can be used for annotations. That's a nice feature not included in the Cybook I use. There are also other "application" such as a calendar available for the kindle which again make use of the keyboard.
There are reasons one might want to have a kindle over and above the so called whispernet features. I don't plan to buy one, but certainly could see why someone would.
