I brought my Amazon Kindle in today for a sort of show & tell for anyone interested. Several interested colleagues asked about the wireless access. The Kindle uses EVDO cell phone networks "at no charge to the user to download books and other content automatically." I have to believe there is a charge for this built in to the initial cost of the device or your subscriptions. An entry in The Amazon Kindle blog, informs us that "you aren't dependent on wifi hotspots and have access wherever Sprint's EVDO coverge is available." See the WhisperNet Coverage Map. This just means be sure to download the books you want before you go to Greer and don't expect to get any of your subscriptions after you leave Globe.
Here is a GIF showing Arizona's coverage. Being a Sprint customer I'm familiar with the gaps in its coverage.
