That's what I was saying or trying to. Non-Amazon content sent to the Kindle via Whispernet email will be charged. I was thinking email because that's how I get content on my Kindle when not using USB but I can see I should have made that more clear.
I was not sending a book when I was playing with Calibre, it was an RSS feed test newspaper (which was already in mobi format), using the email to Kindle feature.

As far as I know, Amazon DOES NOT CHARGE for any other wireless transaction. This includes not only books bought from the Amazon store, but also web browsing, AND BOOKS DOWNLOADED VIA THE WEB. So no, I do NOT believe you get charged if you download a book *directly* via the Feedbooks or Mobileread catalogs. The charge only occurs when the email transaction is involved.

I didn't think about this part so I did not address it. Amazon doesn't mention that aspect in their
announcement either. I haven't tried it but I would not be surprised if there was a charge. I'll leave that to Pshrynk or someone else to try.
