Not sure why anyone would expect Cloud storage to be free. Local storage isn't free.
In a way, for Kindles or any reader without large memory and/or a SD slot, it IS forcing it. With a large library while away from your computer backed up books there is no way without the cloud to get your books onto your kindle. With a larger internal memory or a SD card you can have access to all your books with needing to download them from the cloud. This is a choice made by Amazon to de-emphasize physical storage and push for cloud storage for your devices.

I don't expect it to be free. That's why I don't want to need it or use it.
