I would be surprised if more then 10% of Kindle and Nook owners would be willing to give up the WiFi or 3G connectivity. It was one of the original selling points and I dare say that it remains a very important selling point. I can buy books where I want when I want. It is really nice to have that available.

Clearly it is not important for most Sony users, you wouldn't buy any of the 300/350, 600/650 e-readers if it was, but I think they are the minority of e-book reader users. The numbers here at Mobile Read are way skewed. I have seen a ton of Kindles, a few Nooks, and many an IPad in the wild. I have yet to see a Kobo and I know two people who own a Sony but have never seen one in the wild.

I wonder how many 950 owners would give up their wireless

in all seriousness wireless is one of those features that unless you have it, you have no idea what you are missing.
