Does any ereader device other than the Kindle allow you to send personal files to it wirelessly? I know, you can always check an email account from a web browser, but that's very manual. It seems Kindle, for all its other faults, is the only ereader that allows an easy method of wirelessly getting news and blogs and such that don't need to be routed through the corporate paysystem.

Kobo has periodicals, and Nook has periodicals, but you pay for them. I use Calibre to automatically email downloaded periodicals every day, as I'm sure many of the rest of you do. Why is that a feature that is not talked about as a unique aspect of the Kindle? If it's not unique, why does nobody talk about it for any OTHER device but the Kindle?

Anyway, future purchases and all that jazz - I really really like that option because wires are so inconvenient. :-)
