This is my first deal so hopefully getting this right. This is the 3G version which offers FREE 3G worldwide, wherever coverage applies. 3G can only be used for downloading ebooks through the Amazon Kindle Store.

From the Amazon description:
High-resolution 300 ppi display - reads like real paper.
Bookerly, our exclusive font, designed to read easily and comfortably at all sizes.
Built-in adjustable light - read day and night.
Unlike tablets, no screen glare, even in bright sunlight.
A single battery charge lasts weeks, not hours.
Lighter than a paperback, holds thousands of books.
More than 70,000 titles in the public domain, such as Pride and Prejudice and Treasure Island, are available for free.
Massive selection, low prices - over 5 million books. Over 1 million titles are 2.99 or less, over 3 million are 9.99 or less.

Wi-Fi + free 3G
A model with Wi-Fi + free 3G is the easiest option because there is no wireless setup—you are ready to shop, purchase and read right out of the box. Built-in free 3G connectivity uses the same wireless signals that mobile phones use, but there are no monthly fees or commitments—Amazon pays for 3G wireless connectivity. The added convenience of 3G lets you download books anytime, anywhere, without having to find a Wi-Fi hotspot connection. Your Kindle may use wireless connectivity to make other services available, such as wireless delivery of personal documents, which may require an additional charge.
With wireless coverage in over 100 countries and territories, 3G lets you download books anytime, anywhere, whether you're relaxing on a beach, halfway through a hike or waiting on the tarmac. Check 3G coverage area.

  Is this the newest generation?

  Also, can it be jailbroken so I can also use 3G for light web usage?

  I just don't see paying for 3G to be worth it. If I really, really needed to buy and read a book when I'm away from wifi I can just use my phone's hotspot. I've had a kindle for years and have only done it once.

    It has other features like the dictionary which is great when you aren't at home, depends on what you are reading.

      You can download dictionaries to the Kindle for use when off Wi-Fi.

  to be honest I see little added value of 3g in a kindle. it will be a once in a lifetime event when you need that book right here and right now, and even if you somehow get into this situation, you can have your phone act as a wi-fi hotspot - for free.

      I mean, "without paying a single dollar over what you have already paid"
      so, get Paperwhite WiFi, and put the saved money elsewhere.

  I have had my Kindle Paperwhite for probably four years now (I think), and it's still going strong. I don't have the 3G because as others have said, there's not much point. It really is a great product, and I hope it will last a few more years. I have an older non-backlit Kindle that's even older, about six years, and that actually still works too, though I don't use it anymore. These things are worth the money.
