I would not buy an e-reader without WiFi or 3G connectivity. One of the nicest things about my Kindle is that I can download books from anywhere without a computer. It is not difficult to buy a book on the computer and transfer it to the Kindle/Sony/Nook/Kobo, it takes seconds but there are times when you don't have your computer with you and you want to download a book.

Yes, I used to have to wait to buy a book at a book store when I wanted one but I am spoiled by my K3. No computer? No problem, look I have my book.

This is the biggest downside with the Sonys. That and the price.
