Doesn't shock me. I never use the Whispernet unless it is to download a book I purchased at the Kindle store. All other materials go the USB route. So, because of the way I use my Kindle, this really doesn't have any impact on me, but it's still nice to know that there would be a charge if I did do any of that.
All out of the house browsing is now done on my netbook or my iPhone. I never considered the Kindle to be a good device for browsing or downloading from sites other than Amazon, so I think after trying it (just for giggles when I first got my Kindle), I decided it was a non-starter.
