| 23. The 3G function is a connection to the internet |

It allows you to download books from Amazon plus use Wikipedia if you're not near your own computer. You just have to be in the range of their connection.
If you're near your own computer you can connect up to to the net and download books in wifi mode. Using the wifi mode just helps to save the battery. It wears down a little faster when you use the 3G connection. But it seems to me that the Kindle has a lot of juice.
eta: I think you can download books etc. faster in wifi mode.
Another tip - if you do order a Kindle be sure to note if an AC adapter comes with it. The 3G Touch has the cable to connect to your computer to recharge it. But it doesn't have an AC adapter for recharging from a house outlet. I don't know if any Kindle comes with it or not. But this 3G Touch only has the cable. You'll want an adapter in case you want to recharge it when your computer is shut down or unavailable.

The $79 isn't touch screen, that is $99. 79 gets you a 5 way button. |
