"Finally, a Verizon executive has hinted that the company is positioned to work with companies who will launch competitors to Amazon’s Kindle this year. Users would be able to download content such as books and newspapers over the wireless network."

Interesting that Verizon's network is being described as "open". With the various cellular technologies currently in use in the USA, can any wireless provider call their network open?
To me, the bigger story will be when Verizon announced partnerships rather than saying they are "positioned to work with". After all, its another stream of revenue for Verizon (or any network including Sprint) as I find it unlikely that they would be offering use of their network for nothing.
