This is a US only version (compared to the Global Wireless version) and gets worse battery life. Non-issue if you don't need the additional battery life and you don't need 3G outside the US.
Again, on 3G... Just downloading books, really NBD... This is not a replacement for a laptop or anything.
But the battery life is definitely one to consider. The newer model (which you'll spend almost double on... $190) gets about double.
But the battery life on the Kindle is still rated in days and weeks, not hours... No matter what model you get.
bought one, hopefully the 3G works in Mexico (giving to my fiance for her girls vacation).
I agree, they're for two different purposes. I see no need for 3G but others do... and I tried my PDF's on a friend's DX and they were no better than on the Nook. I might have to end up converting them to ePUB and hopefully being able to edit them to work better.

This one will NOT work outside of the US (there must be a CDMA network)
Although it may not work there, there are CDMA networks in Mexico, south/central america and China. I don't know what other countries use CDMA.
I'm wondering if they work on Verizon's network. I know they use Sprint,but they have no coverage at all where I live.
I think these still have wifi, so worst case scenario is that you'll have to stop at a mcdonalds or starbucks while on the road.
