Hi,

I am interested in the Kindle 3, not only because of the price, but also because you can now annotate PDFs. Hopefully, the Kindle SDK will allow applications that support ePub format in the future, but that is not a big issue for me.

However, I was wondering if I should acquire the 3G model or stick to the Wi-Fi only? I live in the UK in a big city and have usually access to Wi-Fi. I plan to use only non-DRM files (for various reasons: by principle ; I do not support the idea that I could not be able to read my books in the future ; I use Calibre on Linux). Is the 3G really useful in that case? Or could I only save the money to get the cover?

Also, is it possible to share annotations with others with the Wi-Fi only? Or is it only with the 3G version?

Thanks for your advice.
