Whispernet is handy, but I seldom if ever use it directly from the Kindle. I always download books to my Kindle4PC on the big computer, save the download on a backup drive, and then sideload the books into the K3. With the large RAM in the K3, and a 3,000 book capacity, there is no reason anyone should run out of reading material while on vacation or away from the computer. I view 3G the same way -- I just don't need it. But it could be very handy for anyone who, in this day and age, does not have a computer!
