Thanks. I guess the challenge would be for Amazon to arrange a similar FREE service like whispernet in Europe, where telecomunications are usually expensive (more in some countries than others, but surely more than in USA).

I know, I just thought that those books sold on amazon.co.uk, for example, already have those rights. Although the site is from England, it exports to many different european countries. Surely they have authorization to do so for said books. So I don't see why the same book in electronic version would have different restrictions.
