On the morning of the day the preorders became available, I put my order in for the wifi only version. But then I got to thinking about it, and the new webkit-based browser, and it started gnawing at me, only $50 more and I can have free cellular internet for life on it. Not a bad proposition. I'm the kind of guy who likes to stay in touch and this will come in handy in a pinch. I have a touch pro 2 through sprint, which is great for what it is, but the k3's screen is much easier to read, so for stuff like blogs and whatnot, it's handy.
That said, if the browser on it isn't appealing to you, and you strictly want to read books and documents on it, I'd say the wifi would be more than sufficient. With free document delivery you can set up RSS feeds at the likes of kindlereader, so you can take your blogs on the go. Or Calibre can package and send the same kind of content to be delivered via wifi.
I'd say it's a combination of how much a difference $50 means to you, for me it was just at the price point where I didn't mind paying it. if it had been, say, $75 more, I probably would have opted for wifi only. But since I use the browser a lot the 3g will pay for itself in no time.
