I have a Kindle 2 on the old domestic (non-ATT) network which I love. I have hundreds of books and it is easy on the eyes, even on airplanes.

My wife wants one and I asked her to wait for the new ones, which were rumored (accurately) to be available in August.

I am going to give her my "2" and save money by buying the $139 wifi only model for myself. I am almost always on wifi and nothing on the kindle is "urgent" if I am not. I also get books from other sources and load them via USB so no network is necessary for that.

If I am able to order a new book on Amazon, I am obviously online and probably using wifi, so I can "get it in 60 seconds or less". The only other thing is to get software upgrades, but they are not that often and can wait for wifi access.

Does anyone see any problems with not having the 3G coverage and saving $50?
