I could imagine that, but I don't think it happens in the real world very often.
How often do you utilize the 3G downloading because it is the only option open to you?

My first Kindle had 3G. I used it maybe a dozen times over the 5+ years I owned it. And most of that was when I first got it. If you have a smart phone that can do a hotspot, it is faster and more reliable than the 3G built into the Kindle.
The
mainonly reason I would consider 3G these days is for someone who doesn't have a smart phone or wifi and is not technologicaly proficient. If they need something that doesn't rely on owning or having access to any other equipment (phone, wi-fi, computer, etc.) it makes sense. For most others? Not so much.
