The Kindle 3's Wi-Fi completely eliminates this argument. Most people will find that they will use Wi-Fi most of the time and only use the 3G for buying a book if they're out of Wi-Fi range, like on the beach, etc. Once people see the Webkit browser on a Wi-Fi network they won't use 3G for browsing the Web unless they absolutely need to.
