The way certain people are talking and reacting to this news leads me to think they don't understand it. Amazon is not charging $0.15 per megabyte to download books! They're not charging $0.15 per megabyte to use the web! They're only charging $0.15 per megabyte to use their email document conversion service wirelessly, which pratically speaking effects a tiny percentage of their customer base. These people can still use the conversion service for free, or use a third-party program like Calibre, and put the converted books on their Kindle via USB. Or even via a website wirelessly if they're clever.
