I get what you're saying, Sr K, but I really don't see how the Kindle business model translates to smartphones. People don't like to read books on tiny screens.

And remember that the Kindle required very little data, which meant that Amazon didn't have to pay for much bandwidth. Thus, including the cost of the bandwidth in the price of the books wasn't a big deal. The equation for smartphones would be completely different.

That's why the Kindle Fire is WiFi only.
