If you mean the cost of cell phone network transfer, Kindle owners pay for that, as can be seen by following the link in post #1.

Now, Kindle owners who get their @kindle.com transfers by WiFi do get that for free, but I don't think that costs Amazon much. And the email feature (not via Baen, but generally) was considered by me when I paid for the device.

Personally, I don't understand the detailed reasons for this move. But I'd point out the Baen competes with Amazon in the eBook marketplace. My speculation is that an Amazon beancounter decided it was more important to sell a few more eBooks than to sell a few more Kindles.
