That pricing would be completely insane. That's $10'000 per GB. Ridiculous.

In regular 3G networks, pricing per GB may be somewhere between $1 and $10 thus somewhere between $0,001 and $0,01 per Megabyte.

Thus $1 for 100mb to be used as the user pleases on Google Books, Google News or Google Reader items, that would be reasonable. Amazon can just charge people automatically, or charge as a pre-paid model. Put some bandwidth credit on your Kindle account and you can see the pricing go down as you pull ebooks, news items, blog posts and whatever else should be available. This should also include all project Gutenberg content and whatever other sources for compatible content.
