I also like to double check and research what I'm reading, so it's nice that I can do that without needing to find a wifi hotspot. Paying a one time fee of $50 for (hopefully) years of just-in-case 3G is terrific especially since I don't have the extra cash for a data plan on a smart phone.
this. If you don't have a 3G phone, get 3G on your kindle

I was on a trip to NY... web browsing on the DX sucks, but it's still better than nothing. web browsing on the K3 is awesome though(webkit), so definitely pay $50 more
