No, I think this is simply a new thing for Amazon, they have never done anything like this before and as a consequence, they don't have their act together, yet. I don't know whether this is a hardware or negotiations problem, or a combination of the two.

But I am sure they will get it right eventually…can't wait!!!

I know they want to ability to sell me books while on holiday, but I'd be happy to get a European Kindle with just Wi-Fi. If the Kindle were meant as a netbook, I can understand the hold up.
