I always take far more to read than I can actually read, a practice I have carried out since my paperback days.
Even when my PDA was the prime ereader I used, I did not use the bluetooth or wireless connectivity it offered. I want to read, not navigate through web pages to buy books. I will do that at home through a nice wide open DSL connection and a big colour screen which is precisely what my PC was purchased to do.
Why should extra wireless connectivity costs or time taken to configure the reader for free connectivity add to the burden of a holiday?
If others want to have all the bells and whistles, then fine, more power to them. Not me.
Reading is my periodic escape from the stresses of my job and the world around me.

i'm not understanding. there is no ultra complex equations to figure out. If it has 3G it connects automatically, you do nothing. You are now set to go.
If it also has wi fi, it either connects seamlessly or you do an "I agree" quick step. That is it. nothing burdon, no sitting down with an MIT Proffessor. Also you don't have to search the web on your device, the bookstore is comes to your device wirelessly. It's really easy and just is a great extra option to have.
It's really more about taking advantage of today's technology than a bell or whistle. There are no extra or hidden costs it's all free. It's easy, and actually makes your life less burdonsome.
