I don't understand the reason for 3-G. I download just about all my books to my computer, and put them into Calibre. I turn on the wireless less than once a month. If I could have bought one without either, I would have. I won't set up the Wi-Fi to work with my home network, so it will be just like I wasn't connected. But I am excited about the smaller size, clearer screen and graphite. I kept getting fingerprints on my white kindle.

I have plenty of time to change my mind, as I didn't order until today (that will show me I can't miss Mobileread for even a day!) so I don't even have an estimated shipping date. So why would I want 3-G?

Thanks, Debra
