My Kobo is actually the WiFi Kobo and I don't use the WiFi. I tried it once. No keyboard does make it hard to search and it only does the Kobo store. I'm not complaining, understand. I got it for 1/2 off at a closing Borders store to which I also had a gift cert and it is a fine little device.

I am used to my iPod, anyway, which doesn't have WiFi and I had conceived of using the Kobo for books like I use the iPod for music. So, I buy from Kobo (or another eBook store) or get a free book from Gutenberg, or check out a library book, then hook the Kobo up to the computer and load. I really don't see the need for the WiFi and certainly see no need for 3G.
