Sorry about the empty double posts. Having trouble posting this morning. Here goes:
This caught my attention in the USA Today review (posted in another thread): it appears that whispernet comes on automatically any time you turn on the Kindle 2. Which means that if you want to save battery power, you need to go into the menu and turn it off every time. That seems backwards to me. Whispernet should be on-demand: OFF until you need it, and then you turn it on.
Then again, the reviewer also said if you took your Kindle on an airplane, you'd have to turn it on just to turn the whispernet off, then turn the Kindle off again. Which makes no sense at all. So maybe he got the basic procedure wrong too.
