I'll be curious to see what their store looks like. The data charges to download books shouldn't be too bad (as long as you're not in the US). From what I've read about mobile service in Europe, you can buy a SIM with a certain amount of service on it without monthly charges like you have here in the US. They really overcharge for mobile service here. I would imagine Amazon's exclusive contract with Sprint was the only way they could make it affordable. Books aren't that big and, from a quick googling, it looks like the going rate in Germany is just a few cents per KB.
