I'd also like to point out, yet again, that Whispernet is not essential to the Kindle. It's a nice feature and works well most of the time. Cases like this with the Ayn Rand books are rare so you can generally be assured that your content is safe. However, I live overseas and don't usually have access to Whispernet and I like both my Kindle 1 and Kindle 2 just fine. I still like it more than the Sony Reader I had. So if you don't like Whispernet, turn it off! Amazon has still made a great reader and it gives you access to Amazon's e-book store, which is consistently one of the most economical and comprehensive.
