And buying using wireless is not mean buying on an impulse. My Mother and I share an account. She does not have my password for my Amazon account so she cannot log onto Amazon and buy books through their store. She buys using the Wireless.
I don't use the browser so I have no idea how it works. I do know people who use it. (shrugs)

Perhaps it was a device with a resistive touchscreen? And not the more fluid touchscreens that the iPads/iPhones and Sony readers have?
At any rate, you brought up a good point about your mother. My mom is allergic to technology, as are many older people. So, if she wanted a reader I would get her one with wi-fi as it would allow me to set up an online buying account for her and she wouldn't have to use a computer. I don't live in the same city as her, so I couldn't just bop over and sideload books for her whenever she needed them. However, she does have arthritis in her hands, so I think I'd recommend wi-fi with a touchscreen for easier navigation. I'd suggest either the PRS-950 or the Nook Color, if the shorter battery life or reading LCD screens don't bother her (it doesn't bother me).
