Some people forget that those with whispersync devices did NOT need any internet service to buy or get books (once an account was set up) from almost ANYPLACE. Back then, there 'roaming WiFi' was not common.
Also they let people USE TREIR SERVICE to email PRIVATE Documents (non-Amazon purchases)
This was a brilliant initial marketing plan. (FWIW Tesla did it with their Supercharger network. No need for a 3rd party to install chargers, Buy and there are places you can charge)
