You are perhaps much more decisive, than I. The process of buying a book,
for me, involves a lot (a whole lot) of browsing and perhaps some sample
reading or downloading. Not a problem on my PC, but would not be something
I'd do on my PDA. I turn the PDA's WiFi on to check the weather or Google
Maps, as well as keeping the date time accurate, but for the most part these
are very quick processes.

Luck;
