Kindle has built in cellular internet access. Due to some magical
arrangement between amazon and the provider no subscription fee is
required.

You can flip off the wireless, though the switch is software mediated
so if they wanted they could turn it on from time to time (I suppose)
in order to receive new commands from the master control program. ;)

Regardless, A kindle forever severed from the network would be a lot
less useful.
