I carry my Samsung smartphone everywhere with me. It has all the bells and whistles imaginable. My chosen ereaders just display books. Both device types were chosen to suit my needs only. No one else's.

It is nice to have a little sanity in this fast moving world of instant communication. My basic ereaders provide the carriage for that. Sanity prevails.
But the point is with all things being equal in regards to price WHY would you NOT want the wireless connection. It's not email or twitter or any of that junk. and also you can still sideload manually you just now have both options for the same price.
the ability to buy a book online and then almost in an instant have it on your device. Or sitting somewhere and feel like buying a newspaper especially if you are out of town and have it no matter where you are in really a fantastic feature.

The point is it's not a case of having only one way to receive books or papers but to have the obtion to have both features for the same price.


To me it just doesn't make any sense.
