I like to have a dictionary.
If it's not available offline, 3G certainly is helpful.
But most readers use offline dictionaries, so I don't really see the need for 3G on readers.
On tablets, in the past it was differently. I love having GPS and on the first tablets this only was available in combination with 3G.
But the WiFi-only tablets, such as Acer Iconia or Asus Eee Pad Transformer, in the meantime offer GPS without 3G. So, again: No need for 3G.
