Do non-3G connections also go via Amazon's proxy? If so perhaps this would make a nice hack.
It has nothing to do with a proxy: the browser will only download mobi/prc/azw files.

I've suggested (kindle-feedback@amazon.com) that they allow PDF download when using the browser over wifi, since they would not pay anything for that.

While the browser does not allow you to download PDFs directly, you can email them as attachements. So for example if you have a google account, and have PDFs stored in Google Docs, you can go to docs.google.com and email them to your Kindle using its own browser. But of course, it takes a little foresight to put them in Google Docs...
