Wow - great thread. I am a 'tech professional' and I am still mystified as to how to get the books on the new Kindle 2 device coming out shortly if you live in Australia.

I understand the 'hack' to get an account in USA and have done one in the past with Itunes however, it seems Kindle 2 is designed to get books on 'wirelessly' using evdo on Amazon's whispernet.

Can i assume this is not supported in Australia - if it is, do i need a carrier here to get the link to get books. Or will I always have a fall back option of transferring the books via USB?
