I agree. The wireless on the Kindle is nice. But I have it off 99% of the time. I usually browse/buy ebooks via the amazon site. It is much faster and lays out alot better on the PC browser than on the Kindle. Then, I just flip on the wireless for a minute till it gets the new book(s) and turn it off.

So, to me wireless is "nice to have" but the main reason I got my Kindle was for content/price of the Kindle book store. Secondary is the fact that I can read nonDRM mobi formated ebooks.
