And I will never understand that "I wanna have wifi" thing as my reader holds up to 1200 books and in normal life you are at least twice a day next to a computer. Heck, there are computers everywhere: at home, workplace, there are even coffeeplaces that have computers ready... As long as you are not going on an expedition to Antarctica I don't see the need for wifi and even then you'd have the 1200 book on board. So, please, give me a break.

I've already told this story, but you are new and there are a bunch of other new people so it bears repeating. I was in Mexico this summer to help my mother in law settle my father in law's estate. she was picking me up at a bus station in a city she had not been in. I had put the international plan on my cell phone, but it was not working. she was quite late, I had been traveling for over 20 hours, was exhausted and quite concerned. I booted up my kindle, got on my email account and emailed 3 people that I was pretty sure were at their computers right then. I explained the situation, gave her phone numbers and requested immediate assistance. within 15 minutes I saw my MIL walking towards the building talking to my son on her cell phone. not many other devices can do that!
additionally, and this is one of the main reasons I got the Kindle, I do a lot of camping for extended periods of time, as well as teach skiing which means I might be staying on the mountain for 3 or four days at a time. having the flexibility of having the Kindle that I can order anything I want, any time I want is wonderful. there are also numerous boaters and long term RVers that would thouroughly enjoy this feature
