That fact does not make other peoples' preference for wireless connectivity bad and wrong.

+1. By cutting out the middle man (PC), getting books to your reader is made much easier. No need to deal with buggy installation and bloated software. Just activate your reader using any web browser and boom, you're in business. There's a reason why the Kindle is very popular. The Kindle store is like the iTunes of ebooks. Amazon has made acquiring ebooks very easy. You just click on the buy button and the ebook is sent directly to your Kindle.
It's good that B&N (and others) is taking a page from Amazon's book. Just wish B&N didn't use yet another different DRM solution.
Personally, though, I'd go for the Sony. It looks nicer.
