				To buy, or not to buy...
			 
 
			
			So this week at Wal-Mart they have a deal on the Kindle 4 where you get a free $30 gift card with purchase.  I'm seriously considering this, but I'm still on the fence, so to speak.
 Now, as you have probably guessed from reading under my profile picture, I don't really "need" another ereader.  I will say that I do a vast majority of my ereading on my e-ink devices, my 505 and my 300.  The iPad and Galaxy are only used for reading on the rare occasions that I forget my ereader at home.
 
 So why am I interested in a Kindle?  The biggest advantage that I can see is the built-in WiFi, which the 505 and 300 do not have.  I also like the big page turn buttons on both sides of the device, as I think that would be more comfortable for me.
 
 As far as content is concerned, I pretty much get all of my ebooks from the Phoenix Public Library.  I would really like to be able to check a book out of the library on the device itself and download it without having to hook it up to a computer.  Is it easy to do this with the Kindle?
 
 To all current Kindle 4 users, what do you like about it?  What don't you like about it?
 
 A few other points I'd like to make:
 
 -I do not need 3G.
 -I'm really not interested in a touch screen.  I read while I eat so I would think that would just make the screen icky.
 -I have no use for a built-in keyboard.
 -I can't think of anything else right now.
 
 The bottom line is that I would like a little "beater reader" that I can use daily, that has built-in WiFi, doesn't cost a lot of money, and that I can download library books to without hooking it up to a computer.  Could this be a good purchase for me?
 
 Thanks in advance for all advice and opinions.
