All the eReaders that come with 3G offer 3G for free. However the Kindle is unrestricted where as the nook only is enabled for their store.
I don't know about the SONY 3G, but based on their web page it looks like their 3G is limited to the sore as well. (Any SONY 950 users out their want to chime in a let us know if SONY's 3G is only available to their store?)

Ah yes I agree.
Well here is the bad news for you then. See if you read the license agreement to all eBook stores, that use DRM, say you are not buying the book but rather are purchasing a license to 'read' the book.
You never really 'own' the book, so from your moral view it's best if you don't remove DRM altogether.
Oh also if you read a lot of SI-FI and Fantasy. There is an excellent book publisher who sells DRM free books(you own these when you buy them) in all formats.

They also have a huge free library of some real classic SI-FI/Fantasy books.
