The 50MB/month data cap you're referring to is for the Kindle's web browser.
I don't believe that they charge for downloading personal documents over 3G anymore--I'm sure that they don't in the US, at least. Just this morning I downloaded 10 personal documents using onto my Voyage using 3G, and I wasn't charged.
