PW2 I didn't bother with the 3G because of the ready availability of WiFi.

If there's nothing else available, and you don't have a computer (and therefore, no internet), I can imagine that you'd fully rely on the Kindle, cloud and 3G.
I however, have Wifi everywhere: at home, at work, at the homes of all family members, the two lunch rooms I frequent, the theater I sometimes go to, train stations, and sometimes, even on the train itself, although 3G is still more reliable in that last case. If I wanted to, I could even set up my provider's Wifi Modem Hot Spot, which would gain me Wifi capability near any modem of that provider (in exchange, my modem would be a hot spot for other people, but of course it'd be seperate from the in-home network).
