Bingo.

I found that out after some digging through the terms of service and the settings pages.

I cite this:

Your Personal Document Charge Limit

You can set the maximum charge allowed for a single personal document sent wirelessly to your Kindle. Any personal document exceeding this charge will be sent to your @free.kindle.com address and a notification will be sent to your Kindle. We will also attempt to send the document to your Kindle for free via Wi-Fi. To learn more, see Transferring, Downloading, and Sending Files to Kindle.
Setting your charge limit to $0.00 would seem to guarantee you will never be charged for data use on a 3G Kindle.
