TINSTAAFL - if Kindles were free everyone would get one for themselves, their dog, cat and canary and their long dead great aunties. Most of them would end up in a drawer, cupboard, or a cardboard box in the attic - as they do now. And who will bear the costs, people who buy stuff from Amazon, that's who. I.E. the costs would be socialised, whilst the profits that flow into Amazon stockholders pockets would be diminished not one brass razoo.
