I often wonder why the "free" cellular internet involves a higher price. An extra $70 on a $170 device (Paperwhite 4 32gb Cdn dollars on amazon.ca) is not what I would call free. The 8GB Paperwhite 4 or Oasis 3 do not offer that option though for some odd reason, the Paperwhite page refers to WiFi and WAN while the Oasis 3 page refers to Wifi and WiFi + Free Cellular Connectivity.

Code:
Pricing (Cdn)    Wifi        Wifi+Cellular
Paperwhite 8GB   $139.99     not available
Paperwhite 32GB  $169.99     $239.99
Oasis 3 8GB      $329.99     not available
Oasis 3 32GB     $359.99     $429.99
