As Amazon has now admited and posted on thier Kindle site, There is absoltuely No Coverage in Montana, as well as in other areas, yet their map (shown here in this article) still shows coverage (the green areas) in all of the major Montana cities. There may be many other areas arround the country where there is also no coverage, even if the Sprint/Amazon map shows green coverage. I would suggest that no one purchase a Kindle until the lack of wireless coverage issue is fully dealt with. There are some complex technical issues at play here and the provided maps are, obviously, not correct.

No Coverage in Rural States!

I bought a Kindle with high hopes. I live in Missoula, Montana, which is one of the largest cities in the state. It turns out that the wireless connectivity that the Kindle requires does NOT work in Montana. After several tech support calls they admitted that there is no coverage in Montana. There may also be no coverage in other states, such as Wyoming and Alaska. This means that the Service component of the device is useless, and that many, many people may be duped. I think this is bait and switch advertising, and I think Amazon owes people in Montana, as well as other non-coverage areas, an apology.
