Now that Amazon has announced it's WiFi only Edition of the Kindle, it gets interesting looking at how prices for the Kindle Editions will change.

Since 3G is paid for by amazon, and WiFi (HotSpot) is paid for by us - prices should go down.

IMHO I think there are 2 ways amazon can go: different prices for 3G and WiFi delivery - or one lower price for all, thus crossfinancing the "losses" with 3G with the "gains" from WiFi.

Most likely, Amazon isn't going to change anything though - they just milk the cow as long as it lasts.......
