I wouldn't find it appealing to store my books on individual cards. They would certianly be lost. You could have a reader without WiFi, but I don't think it would really save any money. There might be a few people who were so uncomfortable with computers that they couldn't figure out how to use a computer well enough to manage an e-reader, but I think they would have at least as much trouble managing a stack of cards. Recently, I saw a kiosk for buying books, sort of like Redbox. You plugged in your device via USB, paid for the book, and the book was copied onto your device.
You don't need to have your own WiFi access to download books, you can copy them via USB or you could use a free WiFi hotspot like at a library or a coffee shop.
