I get the not getting what was advertised issue, but what do you lose if shopping for, downloading books on a slower network. Most books are tiny files.
Well, the store takes quite a while to load for example.

The book covers can take 15 seconds to load on each page of the store. That makes looking at lists of books quite annoying.

I've also found certain parts of the store just wouldn't load at all, because the connection was too slow.

I can certainly live with it, as I just wanted the "download a book anywhere" functionality, rather than 3G speeds.
