I'll have to do a couple more tests later today when I get some time. like, turn the wifi off and send a document, see how long it takes for the charge to post, then turn wifi back on, send another document...
I actually went back in and changed my spending limit back to what it was. that way, if it works how I think it will, as long as i'm at home and on wifi, it will download for free, but if I'm on the road and someone sends me a document (i've got a few people on the approved list) for proofreading, it will still come through, just for the $.15/mb charge as per usual.
*edit*...thanks tom, that saves me the trouble. I was typing this around the same time you were making your post. See, I'm one of those guys who doesn't like to read the manual.
I did read online, however; was just looking over the document delivery descriptions online and I didn't see their changes there, but I may have overlooked it.
This is a great way they have it set up, basically if I just leave my wifi "on" it will not only save battery life (by that, I mean because I'm around a hotspot so often, it will rarely use the cellular chipset), but also 90% of the time when I'm around hotspots, the document delivery services will now be free.
I had been under the impression that it was only free if you used the @free address, to push it via wifi, and that if you used the @kindle.com one, it would charge you even if it did it via wifi.
