Downloading "Personal Documents" from Amazon's Cloud via 3G

Recently I had the opportunity to buy a Kindle 3 3G for very cheap and I decided that the higher storage on device, and also free 3G to download my ebooks at any time, made it a no brainer to go through with the purchase. However, I do have one question about the 3G - apparently downloading Amazon books from the cloud is free to do, but I heard on a forum about ereaders that downloading personal documents is not. Since the majority of what I read on my kindle are fanfics that I have uploaded to the cloud as "personal documents," I wanted to know if others have had any experience with 3G and personal documents, and could tell me if they are free or not.

Yeah, it probably was the Whisper thing, come to think of it. (I'm sorry I'm not being terribly helpful, ugh.)

Fanfics, oh yes. :) I'm happily, greedily using AO3's conversion for longer stuff, so there's always a nice supply of fanfic on my Kindle :)
