I never thought I would consider buying a Kindle, but somehow now I'm salivating for a K3. Don't know if I'll get one, though... I usually ponder my purchases very carefully... Anyway! What I want to ask is this: what are the possibilities with 3G? I think I'd rather buy the non 3G version, since I've read quite a few posts saying that people have whispernet off most of the time... why is that?
Besides buying books through Amazon, what other things can you do with whispernet? And in more general terms, what do you do with internet connectivity? Can you, for example, download books from archive.org without a computer? What about instapaper.com?
