The Kindle comes with a web browser that is almost and sometimes as fast as what you get on smartphones. That's if you go to mobile-device-optimized sites, of course.

And that is 3G use on the web at no added cost. I wouldn't think of an ereader without that, as it's extremely useful for lookups when you're away from your networks. Now if you already have a web-data plan and a fast smartphone there's no need for it, but why not just have it.

Oh, no ePub...
