3G+WiFi
I've had some experience with this, because my iPad is a low-end wifi only. While I still would not get a 3G iPad, it's because I don't care to pay for the usage. That is not an issue for the K3.
I have the iPad and an iPhone, both of which I use for reading ebooks. Right now, my iPhone is my portable reader, on the L and at lunch. I expect the K3 to replace it for those times. It follows that syncing away from a wifi network is a likely need. 3G fills that need. Keeping all 3 of my reading devices literally on the same page is an important convenience.
Of my 3 devices, the K3 will be the easiest to read on when I'm traveling out of town. Lighter than the iPad, larger font than on the iPhone. But more often than not, finding a wifi network is not easy. With 3G, I can buy/sync without leaving my room.
A remote reason - the next step for Amazon may be to charge for 3G. Ten bucks a month, maybe. But I'll bet that existing users will be grandfathered at "free."
BTW, I'm not ordering a cover. I have a couple of Sonys, and have learned that I prefer handling them without a cover. The same is true of my iPad. So I plan to acquire a sleeve for the K3 when one becomes available.
