Yes.

I think 3G was only on there to be like the Kindle - so that even older folks that aren't good at technology could buy books.

I think they've decided either that that sliver of the market is so small it isn't worth catering to, or they figure people will come into the store and buy books on the instore wifi (where the wifi should work almost automagically). They want the foot traffic anyway.
