I have a 3G Paperwhite and I just looked and sure enough it is on sale.
The 3G is limited to accessing Amazon's Kindle store to buy books and to accessing Wikipedia and doing translations, which do require 3G or Wifi.
You can't use 3G for other websites. There is a browser that you can use when you're in range of Wifi but it's such a limited and awkward browser you probably won't use it except in rare situations.
I buy the 3G Kindle because I refer to Wikipedia a lot when I encounter something new or something used in new ways while I'm reading. My first Kindles didn't have 3G and when I was reading with no Wifi available I really using Wikipedia.
In those days you could go to any website with the 3G but the browser made that so difficult it was rarely used.
