After researching several ebook readers online, I'm going with the Kindle. Now, do I need 3G or is wi-fi good enough? With Kindle, 3G is an extra $50, but there are no contracts/usage fees.
Here's my situation. I don't have (or want) a wireless router at home. I won't be doing much web browsing on the Kindle. Most Amazon books I get would be from me checking out Amazon's site on my home computer, making a list of what I want, then using Kindle to get them.
Are there enough wifi hotspots these days to not have to worry about a connection, or would I have to start hanging out at the ATT store to get the books downloaded? Most all books will be the free ones at Amazon, here:

From a list I might grab 2 or 3 at a time. I might rarely buy an ebook. Any ideas? I don't know nothin' about this wireless stuff.
Thanks!
