It won't be too bad if it whispersyncs on wifi anytime it comes across a valid wifi access point, without having to be turned on.
The Amazon advertizing page has the following blurb;

Quote:
That's half the news. We're also excited to introduce a new Kindle family member—Kindle with Wi-Fi only. KindleWi-Fi isonly $139. Kindle Wi-Fi is identical to our new $189 Kindle, except it doesn't have our go-anywhere 3G wireless. If you're going to use your Kindle primarily in locations where you'll have access to a Wi-Fi hotspot-like at home-then Kindle Wi-Fi is a good choice. At $139, we expect many people will buy multiple Kindles for the home and family.
{Emphasis is mine.}

How many "at home" networks are not peer-to-peer/ad hoc type networks? I would be very disappointed if I got the wi-fi only version and could not connect through my home network.

I would like a review from someone who gets the wi-fi only K3 & has an 802.11 home network.
