Also if you are reading near a computer you can make annotations at the compuer and they appear automatically in your ebook reader. And so on.

I said that for the
time being, especially in the European countries I know, having a wifi enabled ereader will not give you any advantage, especially with e-ink devices, whose screen is quite slow. I've read that iRex can also navigate internet, as well as the kindle, but I have never seen it, and I can't say anything about it. The features you would like to have do not exist yet, I believe. Can't say for the future of course, but I do not believe the scenario will change much over the next couple of years. We shall see what impact wimax will make.
