I can't find this answered anywhere, so thought I'd ask...

I am debating between the 3G and Wifi-only Nooks. Like a previous poster, I keep thinking - it's $50 more for the 3G version - just go ahead and spend it, but then I think if I don't need it, what's the point.

Anyways - I've seen some comments about the games also on the nook being a battery drain - do they connect up via wifi or 3G, is that why? Is it the amount of eInk they use? Can you do games with 3G and/or Wifi turned off?

I live in a decent metro area (Omaha, NE) - did a search for Att WIFI spots in my area and came up with about 5 on my side of town, don't plan to download a lot on the fly but might possibly. Never know.

Any Omaha area nook users have thoughts on Wifi vs 3G?
