I thought so in the past as well. But now, comparing my Kindle DX "global" to the former one, which only did have 3G in the US, I wouldn't want to miss 3G. Of course it makes more sense on a full-blown tablet, for using GPS and the likes. But even for only buying books or checking Wikipedia, I find it extremely convenient.
Given the harsh competition from tablets, in my opinion B&N, Amazon and the likes shouldn't reduce features of their dedicated readers.

I wouldn't buy a tablet without 3G anymore. Even did exchange my WiFi only iPad. So why should I go for a WiFi only dedicated reader?
