My calculation was differently: From B&H Photo and other stores like that, shipment usually is about $40. And it's way more complicated, as I have to take care of customs fees myself.
Overall, my experience with Amazon's logistics (well, no surprise there, it's their core business) has been benchmark. Way better than iPad's rollout.
And don' forget the cover, which significantly adds bulk. Kindle DX itself would have been $18 or something like that.
But what I really hate (but won't be able to influence): I have to pay import fees for the shipment as well. It's not much. But as a principle, I find this kind of greedy and nonsense...
