I really hope the iPhone/iPod Touch content deal happens.

I've heard the AT&T/Sprint argument a few times, and I don't understand it. Your books (and your place in the book) would be stored "on the cloud". When you use your Kindle, it would sync with the cloud using Sprint. When you use your iPhone, it would sync with the cloud using AT&T. When you use your iPod Touch, you would sync using your home ISP (using WiFi). The actual service provider really doesn't matter, you're just accessing the cloud.

I'm not picking on you lilac_jive, please don't think I am. I just don't understand why people think the service provider matters. It's like thinking I can't go to Amazon.com because my ISP is Comcast.
