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).

In other words, the computer is needed...
I feel obligated to point out that the 3G on a Kindle (no other device does 3G anyway) will not let you do anything besides browse the Kindle Store and look up terms from within a book using Wikipedia or Bing Translate. But you don't actually have to buy the 3G version anyway.
Using the builtin browser over WiFi -- as several device lines allow -- is its own cure. Spend a little time browsing with it and you will magically no longer want to.
Trust me, WiFi on your e-ink ereader will not be a time waster -- it is far too useless for that.
