When softrooting nook, for example you can stream your eBooks via calibre onto your nook.
eBook readers won't have iPad web-capabilities in the near future. But is that really important?
Personally, I only want 3 things via WiFi:
a.) I want to purchase on my reader, not on the PC/Mac.
b.) I prefer, not being bound to the manufacturer's webstore, but being able to purchase "everywhere".
c.) Sometimes it may be helpful, to check something in Wikipedia or briefly Google for it.
nook concerning those 3 issues:
a.) You always have been able to download your books via WiFi. Way more convenient than USB of course. On softrooted nook, you can install VPN and even purchase directly on nook.
b.) Probably it would be possible via the web browser on softrooted nook. I've never bothered, as I don't like nook for sideloaded content (like it a lot for the B&N stuff though).
c.) Not very convenient, but it can be done via the web browser, although it would be more comfortable of course to directly jump to Wikipedia from within the book you're just reading.
