In the US they have a bulk arrangement with AT&T for the data from their servers to the Kindles in the US. This is cheap.

I've been downloading fewer and fewer books from Amazon, and more from other sites. It takes long enough to read a book that having to use a USB cable instead of 3G wireless isn't a big deal.
I've also found that the formatting elsewhere is generally better than Amazon's.

You live in the states right, I don't think the $2+VAT is effecting you? I don't think you would have to download via the USB to avoid charges.
