I think it simply is a marketing decision by Amazon. 1.)They are having trouble negotiating contracts with the telcos for whispernet service at reasonable cost. They do not want a WiFi version because that means no impulse purchases. 2.)They haven't successfully negotiated special terms with the publishers who have their entrenched partners in Europe. 3.)They feel that Europeans in general are not that open to technical gadgets as Americans.
