“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?”

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.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Correct, mostly. If you downloaded the book, yes you can be off all networks, both WiFi and 3G, and you are fine. In fact, you will get in the habit of doing a sync while on network, to update everything, then read on without worry. While on network, you can also browse, which is fun, especially if you have an unlimited account. and... not well known, you can brown Wikipedia all you want while on network, including 3G. ;)
