Hi dgk,

If that's the only reason to discard a Kindle, I can show you how to cut off its WiFi feature in the hardware - it's a small, small, small world, I happen to live in Munich too

However, should you ask me, there are two more reasons not to recommend a Kindle:

1 - there seems to be only one level of 'folder' (actually 'collection') you can arrange your books in. If you're dreaming of a real tree-like structure, then the Kindle is not what you're looking for.

2 - you cannot read the epub format on a Kindle without converting it to MOBI first - Mr. Bezos' policy is a double-edged sword.

For all the rest I find my Kindle 4 satisfactory enough, though not enough to buy a new one when my current one kicks the bucket
