=[ I cancelled my order.

LOL!

Each one would be interesting in their own right! LMAO!

Jim:  ROTFLMAO.  You are killing me today.  I need to laugh...keep em' coming.  You can be a stand in for my husband and his wit; he has to work late...you can take over until he gets home.  He's going to have a field day when he sees what I've been up to all day.

I'm happy that you didn't take offense at my poking fun of your misspelling.  It just really struck me when you and k_reader made the same error in consecutive posts.  And then my brain did that thing it does...

I keep telling LR--you aren't groupies, you're write-aids.

(Like the drugstore, only not.)

Jim:  You are going to make me pee and then Vampy is going to break out his depends picture again...lol.  Speaking of which; where was he during all of this?...so unlike him.

He was in chat with me and a bunch of others.

No kindle for me. =/. I canceled my order. Sprint does not work where I live. I called Sprint and asked if there are plans to expand to this area soon the answer was no. :[.

Aki:  You can still use it via USB/computer if that makes any difference to you.

[Leslie]

You know that the Kindle works just fine without the Whispernet, right? The Whispernet makes it super-convenient but even without it, it is easy to transfer books and content. I was in Europe for a month last fall and very quickly adapted to non-Whispernet Kindle use. We have several members here who are in non-Whispernet areas and love their Kindles.

Just my 2 cents.

Also, unless you actually get a Kindle and try it... you don't know if Whispernet actually won;t work.

Sprint cell phones do not work in my house, where i live was not on the old coverage map - yet it works for me (I usually can only get 3 bars, but is enough).

Same here. My roommate used to have Sprint and couldn't get a signal in our apartment, yet I always have 5 bars on my Kindle.

You might want to check the new map - they've greatly expanded coverage, now in all fifty states. Hey, it works in Veblen, SD now, where even getting ANY cell phone requires both an external antenna and sometimes for you to drive up onto a hill -- really, there isn't good service there, but NOW it's on the list for slower coverage (but I suspect you'll still need to drive up on a hill).

[TM]

I am going to take a guess here... but I think what happened is that they worked out more roaming agreements with other cell companies

[Aki]

Looked at the new maps, nope. Not within miles of my town. Funny thing is...we're a major passway for California traffic. ATT doesn't work well, my phone usually has none or one bar. =/. Verizon works wonderfully here, ATT barely works, Sprint no bars or signal at all.

So without whispernet I would have to manually download the kindle books and transfer them over to the kindle?

I wonder would the text -> speech work with no whispernet? Or newspaper delivery?

[ProfCrash]

Newspapers can be downloaded using the USB cable. I don't know why text to speech would need Whispernet to work. It sounds like it is a program that converts the words into speech. I can't see why the program would require whispernet but I have never used those types of programs before.

[sjc]

Aki:  I suggest keeping the order as planned; get K2, TRY IT... You have 30 days to return it if not completely satisfied.

My wireless signal stinks...but there are some days where I get just enough signal to download.  HOWEVER, that being said:
I have great signal just a short mile away from my house.  Great signal at my Mom's; great at work... SO my fix is this:  I one-click all the material I want; when I get to work where there is perfect signal; I just flip the whispernet switch on in my purse...books download.  I'm not "using" K at work; just simply flipping the switch as I put my purse under my desk.  I go home after work and enjoy.

You have nothing to lose by accepting the 30 day offer.

[Mikuto]

Keep in mind what I said too. My roommate with a sprint phone had no bars in our apartment. He had to go outside to talk on his phone, or use it in his car. I always have five bars on my Kindle! It doesn't make much sense, but it does work.

[Vegas_Asian]

Since you are a college student, did you check out the signal strength around school? I email my notes from lecture after a class concludes and before I make my way to my next one.
