There used to be a surcharge for buying books from the UK, before Amazon released the Kindle here, now there isn't.
It is probably close to being correct to say that if Amazon sell the 3G model in a particular country, then you wouldn't be charged for buying books from that country, but I don't know if it is 100% right.
This is now true in Japan, where Amazon just introduced Kindle last month. The Gutenberg books in English (Jane Austen, etc.) are now free.
