Whispernet surcharges. Amazon still charges something like 2 euros + VAT for every book, regardless of whether or not you actually ever use the 3G or are in a position to.
If you haven't already shelled out, I suggest you check the ebook upload library here at MR, and also perhaps Feedbooks/Manybooks/Project Gutenberg for totally free versions of the public domain books. (Or if your purchase was within the past 7 days, in which case Amazon lets you return and refund it, no questions asked.)
We'll probably have nicer formatting than many of the PD repackagers at Amazon, too, thanks to the members who take the time to hand-tweak the files.
