Hi there, 9641! And happy birthday!
We recently got my grandmother a Kindle for her 85th bday and she loves it! Neither of us splurged on the 3G model because (from what I understand) all 3G allows you to do is download or synch books via the 3G phone system. I've never been away from a wireless network when I've needed to do this, so I've never missed the option. My grandma and I both purchase and download books over the wireless connection without any issues. In order to recharge your Kindle, just connect it to either an electric outlet or your computer--no internet or phone connection needed.
So, long story short, to be honest, I don't know why you'd need the 3G!
Hope this helps and I hope you enjoy your new toy as much as I have!
