Those news stories about how a full Kindle weighs 0.00000000001 microgram more than an empty one didn't impress you?

You come so close to explaining it in the rest of your post that an answer seems superfluous.
One cost you did forget about
: Slower internet service for others, like me. While iPhones users pirate copyrighted apps, I'm slowed down reading twp.com on my 3G Kindle 3. Time is money, just as electrons are.
P.S. Or do iPhone pirates sideload, thus slowing down my home internet? It's one or the other.
