I think that's a little unfair on Amazon. I'm sure they'd like nothing better than to be able to release the Kindle in Europe. Unfortunately, the "legal issue" of trying to arange "Whispernet" deals with the multitude of different European telecoms providers, different legal frameworks, etc, is a problem of nightmarish proportions which is taking them years to try and resolve. Not to mention trying to get the legal right to sell their books in Europe, when many books have US-only distribution rights, and so on.
