The Kindle Touch with 3G reportedly will only allow access to Amazon properties, the old Kindle 3 would allow you access to whatever via 3G, I'm unsure if this is, or will continue to be the case for the Kindle Keyboard (Kindle 3 renamed). All that said browsing the web on these devices is a horrible experience and not something I personally see as a selling point.

Also I agree with @J. Strnad the Amazon whole experience is very nice, and is an easy recommendation (much like recommending Apple these days is). That said I've really enjoyed my Kobo Touch and much preferred it to the Kindle 3/Keyboard. The new Kindles provide a nice option and if I was purchasing again I would consider them (as well as the new SONY). I do however prefer the slight open nature of epubs and Adobe DRM so that is still a plus in my eyes, but some of the other advantages like Library borrowing have now been filled.
