They do have a read-only mode, don't they? I'm not sure why they don't enable read-only mode when things like this happen. It may be that Amazon's service being down forbids this. I dunno.

They have a read-only mode for "free" which is their akamai cache that the unlogged in users see.
do you have any stats of this app in terms of total data stored, bandwidth required per day, requests per second?
That's a cache of it. I really wish that the admins at reddit would implement something like this themselves, then link to it when downtime like this happens.
