The price of the books is not included in the price of the Kindle; the price of *downloading* the books is. The Kindle uses the Sprint network (Whispernet) for it's wireless access to the internet and to the Amazon store. WHen you buy a book directly from the Kindle, it downloads automatically – no need to use a computer. You don't have to pay either Amazon or Sprint for using that network.
