i don't own an ereader, and am considering the 650 and the K3.

your comment about mac vs pc got my attention as i am a long time mac owner even though i have soured a bit on apple recently. but i'm not sure that i understand the above ...

1) is entering a string of numbers on a ereader a common thing? why?

2) since the 650 does not have wifi, how do you browse an online book site?

thanks
