Of course, you could operate with the wireless turned off. You can still purchase Kindle books from Amazon, you'd just have to download the old-fashioned way. Considering they already know what I read, regardless of Kindle or not (since they maintain a "Recommended for you ... based on previous purchases"), I don't quite see much difference.
