He's on the run. He's now posted, "ALERT: This is not a scam as some internet posters have suggested. Questions? Just ask." I'm so glad he put "ALERT" in there or I might have thought it might not be legitimate.

emellaich has brought up the financial realities of such a 'venture' but the Amazon side of things hasn't yet been addressed. David is going to be in line with everyone else getting these Kindles. I think we can confidently say that Amazon had no knowledge nor prior contract for supply of the devices since his company didn't exist until a day after the Kindle DX was announced. There obviously wasn't any agreement for digital distribution of this electronic collection of books since the company didn't exist to make such an agreement with Amazon. So, unless there was an agreement with Amazon or he's getting every Kindle shipped to him, load the content, and re-ship (added cost) the devices, there isn't much of a plan on the content distribution side. I guess he could ask that every person receiving one add a permitted email address for electronic distribution but Amazon just announced that the file transfers are going to be charged a per-Megabyte fee for the Whispernet service. Not exactly free.
