Wikipedia/bing translate/social sharing of passages I also understand, since IT ENHANCES THE READING EXPERIENCE.
Will Amazon make more money by giving people 50 megs free 3g browsing? No, people would buy Kindles and Kindle books anyway. People will buy Kindles b/c they like the 3g access to books, and might not otherwise buy an kindle they feel is useless for their needs, but nobody decides not to buy a kindle because they can't BROWSE for free.

If their goal was to have people buy their books via 3G, why charge extra at all?
You make it sound like I want them to give everyone free 3G.
Amazon was the one that offered it.
All I am saying, instead of crippling the feature, change it to give the upcharge more value.
Ask yourself, why did they stop with 3G everything?
I would guess the #1 reason was the hacking abuse.
By taking everything away but buying content from them, the 3G option is only seems to be for umm... what did P.T. Barnum say?
