The surcharge removal depends on Amazon having a contract with a local carrier. Where they have to rely on AT&T roaming to supply the 3G data there is a $2 surcharge on the book price.
The surcharge has gone in the UK and in Australia, and in some other countries. But it's still applied in many countries.
