The fact that most people pretend to not to use Kindles' built-in free internet access does not mean they don't use it all the time - it's one of the main ingredients that made it so successful (compared to other devices.)

Really, the Kindle's Internet is too slow to be useful for casual browsing. I don't know anyone who is using it regularly instead of their PC or cell phone for regular Internet access.
What made it successful is the wireless download of newly released books at a cheaper price. If you eliminated the browser and made it so you could only use Amazon's store wirelessly, it would have outsold the competition just as well.
