My first two Kindles had the 3G because there was no alternative. I often thought I'd be fine with wifi. Then the new Kindle came out with wifi and I was happy to get it. However, I did miss it. I recently decided to get the Kindle with special offers (because the offers are a good deal) and ordered one with the 3G.
Why did I miss it? Well there are times when I am away from wifi that I want to browse the book store. And, the wifi is good, but occasionally it loses connectivity with my router. When I had the 3G connectivity was always there, never an issue. Also, occasionally when I don't have my Kindle with me I'll pick up reading on a phone, and the 3G model was better at sending my bookmarked place in the book back to Amazon.
Is the 3G a major issue for me? No, not at all. Did I miss it? Yes. It was worth the extra $20 when I decided to get the special offers Kindle, but it isn't a big deal.
