Yep, the version I saw had 4 buttons, two on each side to turn pages with.

I was told that there will be a software posibility to turn off the 3G. And you can put in any SIM card (I assume it must be connected to a 3G subscription, but that's logical...) So, I doubt a 3G subscription is part of the base product.
