Let's hope the scuttlebutt is right this time. It's healthy to be reminded that the rumors have been off before. The choice is just to ignore them or at least pass them on with proper attribution. I suspect that most readers prefer the latter. Thanks. David Dan, thanks for your helpful perspective—and the thoughts on the UK mobile carriers. Let’s hope the scuttlebutt is right this time.

Also, wasn't it the Bookseller site that reported on it previously? Pardon my skepticism but I'd prefer some confirmation from independent sources before I get my hopes up on this one. As for the Kindle, well, I suspect UK mobile carriers are part of the roadblock there - mobile data costs are pretty high in the UK and have only slightly begun to get cheaper with the advent of the iPhone. Maybe once the 3G iPhone comes out we'll see more of a change and the way will be paved for the Kindle.
