Don't forget that you can email books to a Kindle, so you don't even have to use a web server to get them wirelessly.
I enjoy the wireless, particularly when family members need a book, from here or Amazon; I'm very glad all I have to do is email it to them.
Plus, wireless synchronization of Kindle books between all K/K4 devices is something my sister depends on, as with sharing snippets and reading now facebook stuff my son also enjoys.
So for managing multiple devices, it's so much more convenient, I'd consider it almost a deal-breaker, in that I haven't seen a feature that would make it worth giving up the convenience of wireless to get.
But is wireless a dealbreaker for me, alone? Not as much as Text to Speech or the store itself, but it's close if I'm going to be away from my laptop.
Bottom line, I enjoy my Sony, and it doesn't bother me to transfer my books onto it via cable, but that's partly because I have the wireless abilities of the Kindle when I need them.
