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.

No .... you can't order ebooks from the Amazon Kindle store unless you have a valid US address and credit card.
I don't use Whispernet much at all, however, it would be rather disappointing not to be able to order books directly from Amazon for the Kindle, even if I did have to download them to the computer and transfer them.
