Well, I have a Kindle 3 on order. Actually, the spouse ordered for me as a birthday gift.

As far as I know the whispernet is currently free, no? |
As I read it, yes, WhisperNet is free at least in the USA. However, there's mention of "roaming charges" related to WhisperNet outside of a home network or if downloading certain files. Hrm.
The idea is to give users easy access to the Amazon eBook library which means more sales for Amazon. I do not know how much general web-surfing through WhisperNet can be done without incurring charges.
