My first criterion was the screen, so I chose Kindle 3 or Sony.

Obviously, I chose Sony and Wi-Fi was not a deal breaker for me, and here's why: I own a laptop and a smartphone. I really have no need for another device that has internet access. The option to download books without connecting my reader to the PC would be nice, but not necessary since I always check many sources for books and go for the cheapest one - which is something that has to be done on a computer.

Also, I figured I would much rather that my reader has many dictionaries, than internet access. It is, after all, supposed to substitute a book.
