Yes, got it.

Free 3G wireless lets you download books right from your Kindle. No monthly fees, service plans, or hunting for Wi-Fi hotspots. For non-U.S. customers, there are also no additional charges for wireless delivery in or outside your home country.

Buy from Amazon, ship via VPost

The package is quite small and shipping should be rather affordable
