I'm about to get the kindle 3 and now choose between the two versions (sorry that it might be late for most of you here). However, the major consideration for me would be the battery life. Certainly I'm not expecting to have battery life of over a month as stated by Amazon under normal use but a long battery life for an ebook is definitely crucial.
My question is what's the battery consumption for wifi and 3G?
Can I turn 3G off manually (i know i can do it for wifi to save battery and turn on when necessary)? If not, does it mean the battery consumption is much larger for 3G since it's on all the time and looking for proper signal?
I love the 3G feature but also appreciate a long battery life, hope someone can advise.
