The tablet will work in the UK for books you download before you go, what the message means is that without wifi you won't be able to access anything in the Cloud. Public free wifi is quite limited here, it's not too bad in towns with coffee shop chains such as Starbucks offering wifi. Macdonalds is always easy to access as well, but in rural England, Scotland and Wales it's much more difficult to find, even 3G is difficult in really rural areas!

I think you'd be pretty much relying on your hotel and not all hotel's offer free wifi, so check carefully. You might be better off when you get here buying a miffi device from one of the mobile stores (like carphone warehouse) and a 3G sim for that, but you'd need to get some advice on what network you get one for.
