Seem to have been supply problems in the US but here in the UK my local Waterstones has had them available almost continuously, currently 20+ each of 350 and 650 in various colours in stock, cases have been a little irregular but both lighted and basic generally also available.
As for Wi-Fi, no interest personally as I've never had to buy a book standing in the street, in a coffee shop or a book shop and I have a cable permanently ready for reader use... their software lets me buy books and use a library when I wish and for the rest, well I've always found calibre better for my use than any readers' software...
Different strokes for different folks...
