My first piece of advice is to hit a couple stores that sell ereaders and get some hands on experience. WalMart, BestBuy and Target all sell devices from multiple vendors. It doesn't matter which books you can load if you don't like using the device. There are plenty of free books out there in all formats, but if you want to read current releases, get one that supports epub. Most libraries support that format using Adobe Digital Editions and you'll be able to easily sideload the books.
I bought my nook before the wifi only version was available but if I had a choice, I would have gone wifi only. I don't travel and have never thought "I need this book and I need it now!" ;-) and after 6 months, I find I could do without the wifi as well.
