Thanks everyone for the quick responses. In my case, I would probably download everything while in my home. So if I have Wi-fi available, I would probably get the non-3G model.
How can I determine if I have Wi-Fi connectivity available where I live?
How do you connect to the internet now where you live? If you can connect wirelessly as in the use of a portable lap top or netbook without a wired connection, then you’ll be able to connect wirelessly with your kindle. You’ll just have to know any passwords you are using right now.
Ordinarily you would have Inernet service to your house with a WiFi router, and you would connect through your router.
The fact that you are asking the question leads me to believe that you are not paying for Internet service and think that WiFi is just available out there.
That used to be the case, but nowadays most of your neighbors probably have their routers locked down with a password.
