This issue has been talked about for years, particularly on the defunct Amazon forums. Newer Kindles with 3G have always been limited to Wiki, Amazon, and maybe Google. Some years ago, international browsing was limited to 50mb per month using the 3G that was unwritten by Amazon.

Why should Amazon pay for your browsing that has nothing to do with them?

From a current Kindle User Guide:

Your Kindle includes an experimental web browser that enables you to surf the web and view most Amazon web pages. The Experimental Web Browser supports JavaScript, SSL, and cookies, but does not support media plug-ins. You must have a Wi-Fi connection to access most websites.
