sideloading takes a lot more time for me than to just click and read. i spent nearly 4 hours fiddling around with calibre one night, and that told me that i'm lucky to get most of my books in 5-10 seconds with the 3g.

i realize that sideloading isn't usually that time consuming, but it is annoying.

you know actually i'll take back what i said. the convenience of 3g/wifi isn't necessarily game changing. sideloading doesn't usually take that long at all.

i see why someone wouldn't care if they had networking capabilities on their ereader.

sorry ppl, i definitely overstated my case.

maybe i'll click the link and see what the sony v kindle determination really entailed instead of shooting my mouth off about a base argument for 'which one is better'.

i almost regret "going there" in the first place rattling off reasons why kindle is better.

who gives a rat's @$$ anyway?

the 3g is just there to get ppl to buy more from amazon anyway. in that way the 650 is a lot more of an honest choice.
