I am veering back towards the wi-fi only one now.....gosh this is really doing my head in now LOL

My reasons are, more battery life, 3 weeks with wifi on as opposed to 10 days with wifi/3G. I know it doesn't need to be one all the time, but with wifi only if I forgot to switch off it would not kill the battery too much.
The cash saving can be spent on books, lets me try the kindle experience and its fun buying things on new gadgets, the 3G would not leave m,e with cash for books for a month.
I am a bit worried about hidden 3G charges in the future. Already read one blog on the new kindle saying its costs more to get books via 3G and the charge is hidden in the book price, not sure if that is accurate, but made me think.

I have so many unread books I will never finish, as I won't live that long LOL seriously, its crazy, let alone a few hundred more real books waiting to be read.
I have never once been desperate to get on the internet and not been able to, so 3G should not be an issue. My wi-fi at home is pretty much rock solid. And when I go out, its to shop or be with my family, so I don;t even take paperbacks with me, ever.

I have the kindle app on my android phone if needs be.....

I just think I am being a typical woman and wanting it all, regardless of if I need it. I need to take a stand and stick with my wi-fi order, and not give in to my 'what if' demons

I have loved reading all your replies, made me really think about my actual needs.

If I really fall in love with my kindle and they release the white in the UK, I may upgrade later, who knows.

But then tomorrow is another day, maybe I will change my mind again. Do you ever wonder if we have too many choices these days, not always a good thing lol

thanks for all your help, as usual this forum is amazing
