Wifi would be nice but my PC and USB cable and Calibre are all I need. The Sony readers take a minimalist approach and that suits me just fine. I anticipate I will be reading on my 505 when most of the iPads are in landfills thanks to dead batteries that can't be replaced and Amazon is pushing the Kindle 8 that still won't read .epub but can download a $10 book in 15 seconds.
I loved my 505 but the cold reality is that while I loved my 505 and you love yours currently, the majority of the rest of the world will be quite content to download their $10 book on there kindle 8.

I still own a commodore 64 but I am not holding out any hope that they will someday take over Apple's market share
