Does that mean getting samples in the UK is free or not? The first sentence suggests it's free but then it advises you to "send samples" via transferring to computer...?

The above is for American users registered with a USA address, but staying/residing in another country than USA. They have to pay for download when they're not 'at home'.
You get samples for free via Whispernet. Books are a bit more expensive 'over here' - Amazon hasn't stated it upfront, but it looks suspiciosly like $1.99(wireless fee) + VAT - but still, you don't pay a fee for downloading books via whispernet (you just pay more upfront) and you can download them as many times as you want.
If you go to the product page of the Kindle at Amazon.com, there's a dropdown menu with options and limitations for all countries.
