I might be wrong but hasn't the Kindle been offering a free internet access to browse its store and even some online content for a while now?

- TylerE 14y agoIt's "free" in the sense that it's not a subscription. Not free in the sense that Amazon pays the provider (AT&T in the US) to provide the access, the costs for which are rolled into the business model -> Amazon's fees from the publisher -> Content prices. So you end up paying for it in the end, since say, $0.05 of every dollar (totally made up figure) ends up going to AT&T. So, to coin a somewhat wordy phrase, it's free-as-in-jet-fuel-when-you-buy-a-plane-ticket.
