kindle wireless charges

t-town · 11-11-2011, 10:43 AM

Hi,

I just ordered a Kindle 4, and I was wondering about some of the charges Amazon (used to?) applies.
When transferring personal documents to your kindle via the e-mail, you had to pay xx $/MB. --> Do you still have to pay if you do this via wifi?
When downloading a book when one is not in the US (like on vacation), you had to pay extra delivery charges--> do you still have to pay those via wifi?

I couldn't find my answer, the pages on Amazon.com all say "if you transfer via 3G", but I didn't find anything about wifi.

To my knowledge... you are never charged for wifi delivery/usage. Only 3G. So if your Kindle is Wifi-only (you didn't pay extra for the 3G model), you'll never incur any extra charges, regardless of where you've connected to a Wifi network (unless they change their policies in the future).

If you have the 3G model, just make sure your "maximum charge limit" is set to $0.00 in your Amazon Personal Document settings and you'll never have to worry about accidentally incurring a 3G charge.

I've sent numerous documents and book drafts via my Kindle (Wii) email and have never been charged a nickel.
