Making the Kindle available to non-Americans implies making the books available. And that text implies you can only download those books by way of Whispernet.

About regional availability, I can understand. But that article doesn't even mention that. They only talk about Whispernet and the problems you would have if you would try to set something like that up in Europe.

Especially this part:

What is the difference with this?
