Well that's actually you and others with Wi-Fi on a reader... that's not everybody by a long way... for starters the whole world isn't the US so not everyone uses that button filled thingy so there are large numbers of people that actually like to read on a device that DOESN'T connect to the 'net at all... when I read, guess what, that's what I want to do... no ads, no distractions, nothing but my book... if I want anything else then I'll put my book down and do something else...
Also, when I buy a book, it is something I want so I am happy to pay for it, especially if it means I don't have to have yet more advertising c**p cluttering up my world... I can use the net to find anything I want, I don't need other people ramming their ideas, of what I want, down my throat... this is also called freedom and choice... Nobody I know wants reading polluted by advertising whether by the reader or book... your choice also...
