I still have an old Kindle and it still gets months of battery life. I occasionally read comics so this may get me to upgrade.

Some Kindle devices come with a built-in „free“ cellular plan. Maybe it was that?

Aw man I didn’t even know about that. I guess 4g LTE is Amazon’s “Black Magic”

I mean, in general it’s pretty neat. When I was 12 or 13 I had a kindle touch with 3G and since I didn’t have a phone or computer I used the kindle touch to read a lot on wikipedia (it didn’t work for everything, I think. Just a handful of selected sites). Also, it generally costs extra when you buy it, just not monthly.
