I admit I'm a bit behind the times. I don't own an iPad, an iPhone, or an iPod. I don't own a portable MP3 player or a smart phone. I don't read for pleasure on my PC (it's a reading for work only device) and I don't use apps to let me read on anything anywhere anytime. Rather, I take my Sony 950 with me everywhere. Other than the desire to own more than one dedicated device, I don't see either the need to do so or the logic in doing so.

Well, I just added a second device a couple of days ago, because it does some things that my original reader does not. My Jetbook Lite is great for everyday reading; the new Libre Color has a larger screen and--obviously--color, so it's better for some pdfs, like cookbooks and crafts how-tos and comics. Plus it plays audio and video files. It's definitely an ancillary device to the JBL--my little splurge.
Neither device has wi-fi or 3G--and that lack was actually a selling point for me; I don't want to be connected all the time. I don't own any iJunk or a smart phone either; I do have an mp3 player, however, and I can take my netbook if need wi-fi.
