I don't need 3G, I don't even need Wifi. And, yes, I do have devices that do have Wifi, so I know what "I'm missing" (which is nothing).
Yes, it can be nice to be able to check something on wikipedia. But most often I'm only annoyed at the tiny screen size. When I want to look something up on the internet, I want a large screen, that can hold a lot of information. And don't even mention the slowness. Can't stand that either.
Would I ignore a reader that has either wifi or 3G? Probably not. But neither would I ignore a reader that hasn't either or both wifi or 3G.
And reading magazines or newspapers? I don't want those. I read the newspaper in the morning (a nice papery one, call me old-fashioned, but I like the larger format paper still offers) and check some news sites during the day (when at work). I wouldn't even consider using any of my readers for reading news... Besides, even if I would, I'd do it at home and we have wifi there...
