I may be wrong but I think Whispernet is simply Amazon's fancy name for a mobile phone network and wherever you can get a signal you should be able to use the kindle. I think Amazon charges extra fees for downloading overseas so get your friend to check that.
Take a look at the Amazon entry for kindle and you'll find a popup map that shows all the countries where you can get wireless connection. If you can't get wireless you can always connect via a pc.
Another alternative would be to use an iPhone and use the Kindle app to connect.
