Since I haven't found any way, much less a simple way to get my books from Calibre to Kindle without being close enough to use a usb cord I'd rather keep at least my favorites (all 2 or 3 thousand of them) in my kindle. Memory is so cheap and small in size so why not? If I had a choice between chucking memory or whispernet (any version) I'd toss the whispernet. I bet it costs more than a couple gigs of memory does and takes up more room in the device.

See my sig.
Also, you could setup calibre's Content Server to broadcast over the internet and download from there, although that requires more work to setup. Here are some services that can do it for free:

Also, the idea that any device should put in more storage by getting rid of the WiFi card is frankly ridiculous -- you might buy it, but no one else would, hence the device would be a losing proposition, hence no one would ever make such a device (leaving aside the very first ereaders ever, which were exactly like that; people have changed their expectations as technology matured).
