I might even forego 3G since I have WiFi N at home and there is always Starbucks and Barnes and Noble (as long as they don't mug me or carry me out on a rail for having a Kindle!).

If I took special offers and if I forego 3g I can get this to $100. That's an $89 saving and a great price!

Thanks!
Although I do not want to have to deal withs ads, my main objection to the special offers is that it reduces the number of books shown on the home page. Since I do not plan on putting many books at once on the non touch non keyboard K4, I strongly considered getting the special offers version.

Since one of the first things I want to do is get ssh and scp going on it, and I do not know whether that would break the special offers feature, I went with the non special offers version.
