Next to the battery is the 3G unit. However, in the
models that are WiFi only, there will instead be a plastic placeholder instead. The replacement instructions for both are identical.

Hey, thanks for your guide!
I, however, have one question, maybe I misunderstood - is it possible to add a 3G module to a kindle touch that didn't have one installed by default?
Would it work?
You would need to add more than just a 3G module - there’s a slot for a SIM-card tray and special Amazon SIM that are missing from non-3G Kindle Touches. I don’t know if there would be any software changes that would need making.
