> If you've used a Kindle before to get content, it's readily apparent that the killer app is the large library of content you can one-click buy online

Not at all; I have a Kindle, and I have entirely eschewed the DRM store. You can download unencombered content from third-parties (like feedbooks.com) just as easily as from Amazon itself; in fact the unencumbered content is arguably more convenient since it can be backed up to your PC and read elsewhere. For public-domain (classics) or friendly-licensed books it's awesome.

Plus this would work in any country (just pop in a SIM card) rather than being limited to North America due to the Kindle's unfortunate use of CDMA. If my Kindle had been this much cheaper and worked like this instead of tying in with Amazon's store, I'd be thrilled.
