I used to have a PRS-300 and PRS-600. Now I have a Kindle 3 for ebooks from Amazon and a PRS-650 for ebooks from other sources.

For me, the main advantage of the wireless connectivity on the Kindle is the ability to sync across devices and send samples to the device. Most of my ebook browsing and purchasing is still done on my computer. If I hear of a book that sounds interesting or want to check out an author's backlist, I go to Amazon and send samples to my Kindle. The only time I purchase from the device itself is if I want to purchase an ebook after reading a sample.

I had briefly considered trading my PRS-300 and PRS-600 for a nook or Kobo with wifi. But then I realized wireless wasn't as important with epubs because I purchase those from multiple sources. So the ability to sync across devices and send samples to the device is not an advantage with my epubs. In the end, I went with the PRS-650, because it combined everything I liked about the 300 and 600 into one device.
