What do you think?

I didn't realize it was non-connected. I agree with you that this is a feature worth considering, except that I think that wireless delivery is an important feature of any EBR (pronounced "eeburr" - we still need a generic name for an ebook reader...)

Now, having given my unvarnished opinion, I will read the thread & probably change it...

Okay, read the thread. My opinion hasn't changed. But I gather that the Kobo has a bluetooth connection that allows for some kind of downloading from one's computer. That's half a loaf, I guess, if it operates automagically.

Ideally, though, I'd want to be able to go to the ebookstore, make my purchase, & have it appear the next time I booted the EBR.

One thing that struck me about the Kobo when I handled one at Borders last week is how light and easy to use it is. If it had been Amazon rather than Borders, I would have bought it on the spot.
