2. what about existing sprint kindles? i know amazon pays for the service, but will they keep existing kindles on sprint or switch them to AT&T? if they keep them on sprint, i assume they're going to have 2 different wireless providers for US customers? seems pretty complex...
Sounds like new Kindles will use AT&T. Existing Kindles will use Sprint.

This only is an issue for a consumer if they have exceptionally bad coverage for Sprint or AT&T.
