You still have to pay to run an EC2 instance (0.15 $US per hour).
That's the advantage to Amazon.  The advantage to you is 1) you don't
have to download all the data over a slow Internet connection, 2) you
don't have to pay to transfer the data into EC2 or S3, and 3) you can
start and stop the EC2 instances whenever you want, and the data will
still be there.
