Totally agree. My first reader was a Sony 350 which didn't have wi-fi. That was never an issue for me because I prefer buying all my books through my PC only and then putting them right into Calibre, then I have collections sorted exactly how I want on the reader. Even though I now have a reader with wi-fi, I still never purchase through the reader. There's never a time I don't have at least 400 unread books with me, there's no reason I'd ever need to buy any book right that minute through the reader. So I sideload all my books.
I always worried about what happens if I lose an ereader or it's stolen, and anyone can then buy up hundreds of books before I realized it was gone since the reader stays logged in.
