Except it's not 'free' - Kindle owners pay a premium for the device, which is not technically different from the Sony - except for the Whispernet.
That's what you buy when you buy a Kindle. That's what Amazon says it's selling when it sells you a Kindle. It's not as though they didn't know how much it costs ahead of time. Or if they didn't (which I *sincerely* doubt), Amazon is certainly big enough to eat the increased costs for their established customers and raise the price for future ones. Cable and phone companies do it all the time.
