And I swear I saw somewhere that browsing their store and making purchases via Whispernet is also free. As has also been noted in this thread, Amazon has always said they would charge a small fee for wireless delivery of converted documents, though they didn't execute on this until recently.

I tried the wireless document conversion once, just to try it. (It was a PDF and it came out horrible on my K2.) From henceforth, though, it'll either be sent to my @free.kindle.com address, or will land on my KDX. (can't wait...)

As for web browsing, it is a stated experimental feature, which means it can and will change, right?
That's the point I'm making. They were not charging forever, even though thye said they would and are now charging (After saying they were going to).
