I have a kindle and it works just fine, it shows up as a Kindle icon on the desktop when I plug it into my Ubuntu 11.04 laptop. I have used Ubuntu to copy across pdf and mp3 files (music and audio books). There are well named directories for the different types of files, documents for pdfs, audiable for mp3 audio books and music for playing random tracks when reading your books. The only fiddly aspect of all this is organising everything you have added to the kindle, on the kindle itself. You can put everything in one or more categories, but it seems to be one file at a time so can be quite time consuming for adding split audio books. 3G option allows you to download books when you are not connected to a WiFi network, it is not intended for use for browsing the Internet. I have not seen the need for a 3G version as 3G will also use a lot of battery power.
