Amazon doesn't need to figure out any roaming deals. i have my own country-wide (and Brazil is pretty wide) data plan and adding one more device would be trivial.
As for the wi-fi, I have a big library sitting on my network and it would not fit in a Kindle.

I use my Kindles (K1 and DX, I've seen other people with K2...I'll probably buy one myself for completeness) here in Afghanistan, and am probably going to set up a semi-pirate 1xRTT network, as USB gets old fast. The K1 only does EVDO (for which BTS gear is expensive), but the K2/DX do 1xRTT, so you can hack firmware on some of the consumer femtocells to remove GPS checks or spoof GPS.
