A great insight into the marketing value of the Amazon Kindle's Basic Web browser and 3G service

Every Kindle owner should read this article and join us in calling on Amazon to keep the basic web browser and the remarkable wireless broadband service that supports, and to keep it free or cheap. There has been plenty of buzz (as well as a few troublesome lines in the terms and conditions) suggesting that these features won't be free forever. Windwalker makes a well-reasoned case that it should suit Amazon's business model and customer-experience goals to maintain the service at no more than a nominal charge, and even suggests that it will be most profitable for Amazon, in the long run, to keep it free. Are you listening, Jeff?
