Let's suppose that you have a Kindle WiFi and you download 100 free books. You then buy a Kindle 3G. Should Amazon charge you the $200 in roaming charges at that point? Would you be happy for this to be done?
Amazon could very well only charge you the US$2 whenever you download a given book for the first time using 3G.
This would complicate things a little, because they would have to mantain this control (and potentially warning the user that he/she is about to be charged), but it could be done.
It would be more fair to their customers than adding US$2 the price of a book which might not ever be downloaded through 3G.
