Because that's what it's being marketed as? I agree there is more potential there compared to other readers, and it's more of a general document reader and note taker, but it's not really meant to replace a laptop/tablet/slate PC either.

It seems like once the label was applied no one considered how capable the hardware really is. I see the DR1000 as a slate PC with a 10" Eink screen. I want Wifi on this slate PC so I can move PDFs & etc on and _off_ easier.
The SW model does have Wifi, and sounds like it will do most of what you are asking for.
