It's the other way around. Designing a device that does not *NEED* internet for its main functionality in such a way that it can't be used off-line properly is the stupid thing to do.
Not everybody wants to be connected everywhere, all the time. I know I don't. And I won't. If newer Kindles are no longer fit for my uses, there will be another device that is.
