Well, downloading books/browsing the store and Wikipedia. They've said they'll keep all that free. From a networking perspective, that's is very easy to do. Now if they start offering the WiFi model that folks have been speculating about, or if people actually mod Kindle 1.0 to use Wifi (the original topic of this thread) then I could see them not minding you using whatever bandwidth-hogging app you could hack into the thing.
