Hmmmm... given that the last trip I went on, there was WiFi in virtually every restaurant, coffee shop, hotel/motel and even some rest stops, I'm not sure if having to redo my setup over WiFi is that big a deal. Since I keep all my non-Kobo synchronizable content on an external uSD card, the big worry is the time it takes for the bleeping database to be rebuilt once it starts reading the external card.

The other point is that when I am away from home, I don't play as much with my ereader which is what has triggered most, if not all, of my database issues.

At home in the Vancouver area, it's even easier since I registered my Aura HD with Shaw and Shaw Open hot spots are popping up all over -- oddly, in a local Starbucks, the Shaw Open connection to the Vietnamese restaurant 2 doors down gives me much better speeds than the Starbucks connection (4Mbps download vs. 240Kbps download the last time I was in there and tested it -- 3 times since I couldn't believe the original results).

Regards,
David
