I've preordered the new kindle touch 3g, now I'm having second thoughts whether I really need the 3g.

I have in my hand the $79 kindle version (my first kindle). The only reason I wanted the 3G is to be able to lookup words using Wikipedia and Google Web on the go. I can't do this with the $79 device. It doesnt have the option.

Will I be able to lookup words on wiki using the 3G connection for free?.

Is the only benefit for having a 3G is to buy books on the go? I love sending personal documents to my kindle. But doing it using 3G has a small fee.
