I don't care about wifi at all. I buy very few ebooks, and only without DRM, which means the wifi that only connects to company stores is useless to me. (Worse than useless; can result in annoying surprise "upgrades" that change how my device works.)

The whole point of having enough memory to store hundreds of ebooks is that I don't need to take special steps to get a new one RIGHT NOW THIS MINUTE. I can load up a week's reading and a week's worth of alternates in case my mood shifts, and a handful of books I've been telling myself I'll read someday, and a few extras that sounded interesting, and some fanfic. I don't have to decide exactly what I'll read before I leave the house; I can carry enough options with me that I don't care about access to more while I'm out.

OTOH, my daughter has a Kindle and I can't pry her away from Fanfiction.net. The web browser is a nifty feature; wifi for the purpose of buying ebooks is useless to me.
