I can understand how the wireless function serves you no purpose if you always have your computer nearby. Really, the wireless function is most useful for those that don't always have ready access; those that don't want their ebook to be tied to their computer.

I agree. Make some profit off it. Lord knows there are still quite a few people willing to pay more than retail to get it. It' s down to about $600 now from what I've seen. Still, that's twice what people are paying for Sony Readers. You could get two!
Personally I do have a Kindle (and wouldn't part with it) and I do shop using my regular computer but I just send samples that way. I don't buy any book until I've read the sample. I'll sit at my computer and send every sample I'm remotely interested in to the Kindle. It's easy and free so why not? I see no point in actually buying the book until I've read the sample. I own too many books I didn't like enough to finish already. Then I use the wireless to pull the sample down when I'm done reading it if I actually like it. There's a little link at the end to let you buy the book. The Kindle Store from the Kindle is pretty nice but of course it's better on the big screen. I only use the store from the Kindle if I'm out of the house or trapped under a cat or something.
