Wireless connectivity is a critical factor for EBRs, I think.

I fill my reader up once a month (put all the titles I think i"ll read a given month), then forget my reader's connection to computer, unless I need to charge the battery. How often do you download ebooks to your reader (not to your PC)?
For me, wi fi is really not necessary. Actually, it is a buzzword, it is attractive, but for downloading ebooks I don't find it essential.
Concerning the Sony store, it is not a disaster, but is quite bad (the choice of eboks is poor).
