Not equal, just able to perform the same basic functions. I got a device with wifi because I intended to use it to go online and download books. I never even considered that I wouldn't be able to do that.

Because browsers go with the ability to download. I don't really understand how a person that buys a reader that has a browser can think: oh, it isn't capable of downloading, that's normal. Since we're moving towards a world that is based on cloud storage, haw can you not expect to have access to it. And how is downloading directly from the store NOT the same as browser downloading? Isn't it just copying a file from a web address?
