Wifi or download on a public computer to USB flashdrive then move to reader

I wish to reduce my time online and instead read books. SImply not having any internet connection except when going to a cafe to download books could solve that time-waster (excessive internet use that is).
So when you're talking about how you don't want to be online, you're actually saying that you don't want 3G? Well, that's fine, because as far as I know, the only e-ink reader currently for sale that has 3G is the 3G version of the Kindle Paperwhite. Of course, you don't have to buy the 3G version, you could always buy the wifi only version.
However, your other criteria of micro SD slot and audio rule out any current Kindle anyway.
