To turn the instant click function off on the kindle, do it from your main amazon account. that way you can edit your preferences (I believe so it's not on one click purchasing.)

I agree, it depends on what your needs are as to what device would be best. I only wanted the ereader, and I too, thought the Ipad was too bulky, big, and awkward. You are right, about the new versions of the kindle being 3G etc. I forgot what the diff. was. Thanks for correcting that wink
