But again, it's kind of stupid because they allow browsing, so for instance I install DD-WRT on my router with USB HDD attached, and set up some scripts to do the necessary processing of news feeds to pack everything into a .mobi, and then throw it in my wwwroot. I can then just fire up the browser and download the document over 3g for free. Just takes a minute of my time and a little know how on my part (and some simple networking hardware, which most people have but might not know how to set up).

So I suppose this will keep working until Amazon disables the web-browser or downloading of content to the kindle?

So again I ask, why not just allow emailing of documents to the kindle (or at least allow a free limit of 1-2mb/day, which 90% of users probably would never even think to use anyhow)
