Shelfari also, anything on amazon.com (not just Kindle books). Maybe Goodreads if and when they add integration for that. I like being able to use Translation and Report Content Error when there is no wifi connection as well.
And if you switch between reading devices (say a smartphone and Paperwhite) the 3G will enable more seamless sync, whispersync for voice (Audible) etc.
Since this thread is about Kindle vs. Nook I would just point out that the Nook eink devices have no built in web access. So 3G aside, you cannot do wikipedia lookups with Nook. I find it really useful when I come across a reference and want to learn more about it, and would not want to be without it.
