I don't blame them for limiting the download of large files over a 3G system that is provided free to the K owner. Whispernet was included to allow downloading of Amazon books and any other use is a gracious and free present from Amazon, who BTW still calls the browser expermental meaning that they can take it away anytime they choose. The browser has never been advertised as full fledged feature.
I'd be okay if they restricted it to wifi (which I pay for). They are restricting audiobook downloads to wifi, for example. It would be incredibly useful. And you are inferring 'demand' of course I would be nice about it. (I will elide reference to 'complaint' ok?)
