I can only speak for myself. But I bought a Kindle to read books. The 3G was added to allow convenient downloading of books, especially for those without computers or tech saavy. Anything else was a gracious and clearly stated "experimental" gift which Amazon can continue or not depending on costs. Personally, I do NOT want to pay more for my Kindles or my Amazon ebooks in order to support high 3G costs incurred by those who think an electronic ebook reader should be used to surf the internet via 3G. Cellular providers charge dearly for that service, so why should it be free on a device purposed for reading? I wish Amazon would limit internet access through 3G and charge extra to those who insist on using their reader to surf the internet with 3G so that my books don't start costing way more than they already do. WiFi, on the other hand, would push the costs to the individual and could/should allow for unlimited web surfing without driving up the costs for everyone else.
