Have to thank you ebs.

My Kindle2 was registered/activiated in the US whisperNET after purchase, with latest firmware 2.0.4. Then it came to China. For the firmware thing I posted a post in the other section, it is FAST, and very amusing when you use Txt-to-speech with Chinese articles.

Following instructions within this thread I got what most remote people want:

- So called working Emulation of WhisperNET: That you could buy and download books directly from your kindle when you are not in the US. It works but not as same as in the real whispernet.

When you click a "buy" button, the book will not be sent directly to your Kindle. You have to go to home - menu - sync and check for items. In this way the download starts. Guess it pretty easy to understand, the emulation in essence gets Kindle connected to the Internet. However, you are not with the Whispernet so that SMS-like services cannot reach you.

Similarly, periodicals will not be sent to your Kindle regularly but you have to manually download them.
