    Kindle questions...

    OK, so I'm thinking of getting my son a Kindle for Christmas and would like some input
    He is a wildlife biologist and travels a lot so it's hard to tote a ton of books around. I know he really couldn't use it for field guides but he would like to read books on the go.
    I'm not sure about what to get him though...wi-fi only is what I'm leaning towards. He has his laptop with him, although right now no internet (nor at his previous location) but he also has his trusty Moto Droid so does have 3g connectivity pretty much wherever he goes. Now, here's where I'm getting lost...he could download books with his phone no problem but how would he get them to the Kindle with no wi-fi? I know he could tether (don't tell) his laptop but that would not help w/the Kindle. I know that all three would sync with each other. Would he just have to wait 'til he went into town and sync then? I actually think I just answered my own question as I typed it all out. lol.
    OK so, Kindle...the good, bad and the ugly please
