I would assume that, even if Whispernet was on, you wouldn't be able to d/l a book, since it's the Sprint network which doesn't really work too well over 3000 ft in the air....
BTW: I assume you mean 30,000ft.

Cell phones are not allowed in planes. So you really should keep the wireless off during flights.

That said, they will/can work. Cell companies don't like them used because they can actually hit too many cell sites.
