For non-U.S. customers, there are also no additional charges for wireless delivery outside your home country
Genau das wird in einem Artikel von The Guardian aufgeschlüsselt:

Ist ja egal ob die Gebühren also für den Download draufgeschlagen werden oder einfach die eBooks teurer sind - als Nicht-US-Nutzer zahlt man drauf. Dementsprechend dürfte es dann zB auch keine kostenlosen Publi-Domain-Bücher per Whispernet geben.
