Which is, of course, why Whispernet was such a brilliant idea. The cell phone network is Jeff Bezos's kiosk. My general rule on ebooks is never underestimate Amazon, or the French. Since Mobipocket is French, that's a two-fer. Bezos knows how to sell books, and the French have always been ahead of the curve in deploying large amounts of IT as widely as possible.

I still want that hot orange number from the video, though.
