e-readers are amazing!

i highly recommend getting the 3G version if you can afford it and its available in your area

it's only a little bit more expensive and honestly i've used the 3G to check my email and download books far more often than i've used the wi-fi for the same

then again, if you are in a more urban environment and there's wi-fi flowing every which way then i guess it wouldn't matter, but for me the 3G is indispensable

I ordered my Kindle from the British site and had it delievered to my mum's house, and then picked it up when I went to visit. Now that I'm back at uni (in the UK) I've got wifi but I'd agree that if you can afford it, the 3G is useful sometimes. Then again, I'm fundamentally opposed to being emailable at all hours of the day and night! If I'm reading a book, I'm reading a book and emails can wait.

LTK, if you have friends/family in German, France or Britain who might visit you or you might visit some time soon, maybe you could order it to them and have it brought over/collect it? But it might be simpler to just order it from the International one. Quite annoying that you'd have to do that - you then have to buy books from Amazon.com, right? Or are you not actually tied to it? Does anyone know?

LTK:
Man, I'm really just considering to get the Sony reader and forgo all the hassle with Amazon. 3G is nice to have but why buy an outdated product when a new release is just around the corner?

Barmymoo:
Why reject a perfectly good product purely for the novelty factor?  :evil:

LTK:
Hmm, yeah, good point. :P But Sony's reader has a couple more things going for it aside from 'it's new'. Features aside, I can easily return it if it's not to my liking, and then get a Kindle (or something else) instead. So I'll put in the pre-order and see what that gets me!
