At $79 the Kindle is a good deal. Yes, you can use USB to load your books if you don't want to add a WiFi access point to your house. (BTW, once you do add a WiFi hotspot, you may find other uses for it. Originally added for my laptop, it's since been used by the kids' PS-3, their and their friends' iPods, my iPhone, a Kindle, a iPad, and probably other devices I'm not remembering now.)
Even if you don't use the WiFi, the base Kindle is a good deal. It has the same great screen as the other 6-inch models, and the screen is what you use all the time while reading. (Keyboards and touch screens are relatively less important to the core reading experience.)
