not true at all. itunes runs just fine on a PC and will transfer music/tv/movies/books/applications just fine over USB. wireless is not needed.

Readers who don't own a Mac or a PC are more likely to buy either Kindle for the simple reason that the iPad brings with it an annual G3 connection cost of $180 a year under the cheapest plan. This means that over 1 year, the K2 costs 259 to own, the KDX costs 489, and the iPad costs 809. Over 3 years, the K2 costs 259 to own, the KDX costs 489, and the iPad costs 1169. All that extra money can be spent on books!

but you neglect to mention the extras you get for that extra monthly fee. a more feature rich internet experience than you will get on your kindle. the ability to chat, use skype, internet enabled games, etc. it is not the same experience as internet access on the kindle.
