I can understand wanting wifi. I wanted it too. I finally just took the plunge and like the touchscreen enough that it is worth it. (the touchscreen is kind of addicting, love it) I wanted to be able to get news feeds etc and thought that would be so much easier but since I have set up calibre to do it for me and figured out how to put it in the system tray so that my family won't exit out of it, it really has been quite quick in the morning to plug in and read my news over breakfast. I've also found that I tend to like to add my books to the library to set up metadata etc and most of what I want to do cannot be done via wifi so having to hook up my reader is not so bad. I think at some point I would like a laptop or netbook to run calibre for me to give me that access that is portable when my family wants to use the computer. Perhaps by the time I'm ready to upgrade again, there will be better access via wifi.

I have not noticed any books I've wanted that I couldn't get so far other than those that are just not available (ie things like Harry Potter). The library is pretty good in BC too. It doesn't have everything I want if I am looking for something specific but there is quite a bit there. I have found quite a bit for my oldest son as well.
