Help me love it or its leaving.

You should contact Amazon about the books you bought accidentally. They're pretty good about issuing refunds for e-books you don't want (or so I've heard). On your Kindle, there should be a screen immediately after you purchase a book that asks if you'd like to undo the purchase. (That's not how it's worded, but that's the gist of it.) In the future, look for that and you'll be able to undo your accidental purchases.
Yes, the page turning dark is normal. All eInk devices do that. It's the nature of the technology. The Kindle has the highest refresh rate among e-readers, though, so you won't find one with a faster page turn. (I think the newer Sony Reader
shares the technology, so the page turns may be as fast on that device, but you're not going to find faster on an eInk screen.)
As TheKindleWorm said, The 3G version of the Kindle 3 also has wifi, so if you've got a wifi connection, you're going to be fine.
I doubt anyone could say anything that would make you change your mind 100%, but I think that if you compare it to other devices, and read up on the technology and what the Kindle can do, you'll look at the Kindle a little differently.
