Yeah, I have to admit, I'm a wireless transfer and sync use. Even though my system is light years away from what I want, these are features I use all the time. I'm constantly switching from phone to tablet (before it dies yesterday) and sometimes laptop. If I add an actual e-reader, I'll need it all the more.
If you only use one device and are happy messing with cables, that's fine. I generally don't bother with cables anymore if I can help it as it's just not as fast or streamlined. But that's why choice is so great.
