During these times when you're waiting for your kids, are you reading books you've already downloaded? Is it going to be important to be able to get a new book synced immediately while you're there? Because that's basically all you'll be able to do with the new Paperwhite. You can't just go on the internet anymore with the newer Kindles, even if they are 3G. (That's why I hang onto my older 3G Kindles along with my PW 1st gen; with the older ones you can.)
I found that the added cost of the very limited 3G wasn't worth it for me - I just make sure I have enough reading material of different types to get me through a wait.
