I wold not buy an e-reader without 3G or at least WiFi. I have bought many abook in the airport and while lying in bed. It is by far the best feature of the Kindle.
I don't travel with a laptop. I brought my net book (won in a raffle) with me to Australia and New Zealand more to download pictures at the end of the day then for any other reason. We used it to check email every third day or so. This makes buying a book by downloading it to a computer and sideloading it a pain in the wazoo.
With the 3G you can buy a book just about anywhere. With the Sony you need to have a computer near by. It is not that it is difficult to do but slightly more inconvienent (sp).
