Q: So, the 3G is only good if you're away from wi-fi and want to download a book? Otherwise, if the book is already downloaded, you can read without any 3G service. Is this correct?

A: Yes. You can choose either Wi-Fi or 3G where Wi-Fi is offered and you have an access key. Otherwise 3G is the better option as it utilizes cell towers/cell phone network so if you can use your phone you can down load a book or receive updates to a book. The connectivity is not to just down load a book but to keep your pages and book marks across different readers should you switch between it and say your computer and want to continue reading from where you left off or look back at a reference/book mark you made earlier in the book. Also if you have an Amazon Prime account they offer hundreds of newer released free books that you can read but not download so the 3G would allow you to keep reading as you travel around and remember where you stopped. Hope this was of help.

Q: Does this one have the unwanted special offers on it?

A: All of the kindles have the advertisements on them from BestBuy. If you buy direct from Amazon, you can get it without the advertisements but it will cost you $20.00 extra. I believe the ones from Best Buy can have the advertisements removed if you contact Amazon but it will still cost you $20.00 to do this.

Q: Will the 3G support messenger apps like Facebook?

A: No, this model is for reading only.

Q: how do you transfer books bought but not read from old kindle to new paperwhite 3G model?

A: If you use a Kindle, you should be familiar with the idea that you only get books through Amazon. You then have them in the cloud, and can download them again to any device, including a new Kindle you buy.

Q: Is it difficult to download books from the public library with the PaperWhite? Wi-Fi or 3G - which would be better for this?

A: The WiFi is always faster, and is unlimited. The 3G,does have a limit, in both speed and total amount per month, but it's pretty high, not likely to hit it. Use WiFi when it is available. The 3G is for when you are not in WiFi range. This is very nice, so you can browse and download as you move around, and when in remote locations. I download a daily newspaper where ever I go, on the 3G.

Q: Does it have good back light for reading in the dark.

A: Yes! And the backlight is totally adjustable.
