They cut the storage capacity back to 2GB on the Paperwhite. No audio either.

It will be interesting to see how the screen is with the extra layer added for the light.

I just preordered the Paperwhite 3G, but I'm still not sure if I should save some money and get the wifi one instead.

That's what I did too. I went WiFi when I got a KTouch and haven't missed 3G so far.

I thought about that, but then thought of how many times I've been away from a wi-fi network when I ordered a book or wanted to check something on Wikipedia.

I figure I can get the wifi only version plus a cover for less than the 3G one.

The Kindle Paperwhite models are both offered as SO. To get them without SO it costs $20 more, $119 WiFi SO or $139 WiFi and $179 3G SO or $199 3G.

Maybe it will last just as long if you turned the light setting to zero.

Reading only a half an hour a day is like eating one potato chip. It can't be done!

Still, that comes out to be about 28 hours between charges. After that you can take a 4 hour nap to recharge (yourself and the Kindle) and repeat
