> On AWS, you're charged ~$0.09/GB of bandwidth out. How Amazon thinks 1000x pricing is fair here is beyond me.

Do Kindles still use whispersync, where they get to use cell network connections for free but at very low rates? Even if it's no longer in use, maybe the pricing is still a holdover from that which people haven't noticed.

My 1st-gen Kindle has the "Whispersync" 3G built-in and it still works fine (which was surprising last time I fired it up).
