It used to be the case that books at Amazon that were free to the US cost $2 for the rest of us. They changed that a couple of months ago.
As others have pointed out, Amazon is far from the only or best source for free books though - there are plenty of great free books right here on Mobileread for instance.
I have a Kindle 3 and really like it. It came to about AU$175 including postage.
The Kogan is $189, but comes with a case so in real terms it's actually a bit cheaper. The Kogan does have the older not-quite-so-nice e-ink display.
