I would rather that Amazon charge for the Kindle. If they give it for free to Amazon Prime subscribers, the prime subscription price would increase to cover for the costs (I doubt books alone can cover the cost of a whole Kindle).
Many people would just subscribe once, then cancel. As such, loyal users would have to fork the bill for those temporary subscribers. The Kindle is a one-time fee (better), rather than a yearly payment. Unless, of course, you get a brand new Kindle every year q:
