Turning off whispernet (maybe the best festure of a kindle btw) sounds to me like a pointless and panic driven idea caused by lack of understanding what really changed

But, your lack of understanding of what really changed is OK, right?

No reason to panic, right? Just download the book to K4PC and fire up skindle. No problem... sounds great!
Here's the problem with that scenario -- and I'm really getting tired of explaining it -- I use Linux! The K4PC + skindle solution doesn't work on Linux (not even if you find the old beta version of K4PC and get it working under Wine, I've tried).
Unless I want to walk across the street, knock on the neighbor's door and ask nicely if I can install some software on their PC, I'm out of luck. So is anybody else who doesn't have a Windows PC or a Mac in their home.
So, as much as everyone would like to think there's a global solution to this problem that will work for everybody... there's not.
So I panic... with the comfort of knowing I have every right to.
