I have switched from the 3G+WiFi Kindle 3/Kindle Keyboard to the new $79 Kindle and am pretty happy with it. Gets rid of the stuff I didn't use (Audio playback, speakers, keyboard) to make a device even smaller. 3G is something I used so rarely I don't think I'll miss it.
I decided to order the ad-supported model because I knew I could just pay Amazon $30 to turn them off if they bothered me. But it turns out I'm fine with them. They're not egregious and I only see them for the couple seconds it takes me to wake the Kindle and select a book.
The ghosting is something I have noticed but it's something that is just as easy to ignore as the full-flash-every-turn issue on the prior models.
