I do have a motive for bringing it up. If there's some hidden cap on 3G use or a formula for ratio of paid data (personal documents, books) to free data, it would be useful to know to avoid stepping over that line.
@duckeedoug There was a discussion here on MR a while ago in which removing the SIM card was asked about. Here it is: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho....php?p=1168588
It appears moving the K3 SIM card to another device would be in violation of the Amazon Kindle terms of use.
A fee per unit sold seems like a plausible model. WiFi only to 3G+WiFi is a $50 premium. Is a 3G modem and SIM card $50 or is there money left over to pay the wireless companies?

For personal documents I've set my Maximum Charge( on Manage Your Kindle) to $0.00, so Amazon sends my documents to @free.kindle.com.
Though I frequently get the message that my documents are too big, they always get send to the @free.kindle.com., without any charge.
As for roaming abroad,which my European (not-UK) Kindle isn't suppose to do: I could browse on the Kindle when I was abroad and couldn't get wifi for my iPad. I never got charged or heard anything from Amazon about costs of the Kindle-roaming; so it appears they don't monitor that kind of use?
I think, considering the browser of the Kindle, which is elementary but functions well; I wouldn't suggest it for some heavy browsing anyway.
