Nerdy curiosity post/question from a new ebook user. I just got my first device of this kind; a Kindle DX.

What is happening with this service as it is described in the first post? A file on my Kindle allows me to "Update" and what really happens then? Specifically:

1. It overwrites the old file?
2. It pulls directly from the RSS server(s)? Or it pulls from Feedbooks?
3. Where does the bandwidth go? Does this use the same data channels as the "experimental" browser?

Bonus: Does anyone want to elaborate on how they can afford to do this "free"? I was kind of thinking maybe Sprint recovered their costs/made money by getting a cut of the stuff purchased from Amazon.
