Love mine too.
Just replaced the battery since mine is 3 years old. Right afterwards had a 3g issue, it would blink then turn off. I bought another modem (5 bucks) and put that one in and the same thing happened. After talking to Amazon CS for a while I was fiddling around and noticed the antenna connector was slightly loose, I pressed it a little harder with a tiny screwdriver and it clicked on and my problems went away.
The lesson here is when you change the battery, before you button it up make extra sure that the modem antenna connector is completely on. Even if you didn't fool with it, there is a chance that, like mine, the battery procedure might cause it to loosen.
P.S. Other than the battery problem mine is like new because it stays in a leather case. Used mostly for the Times with breakfast, but it velcros to the treadmill too, large pages and fonts easier to read while walking. 3 other Kindles in the house too.
P.P.S Paperwhite DX, I'm in, I've been thinking about that too.
