Thumbs up Wi-Fi without Touchscreen

Wifi is very important to me to sync newsfeeds etc (ie digital newspaper) but I don't want a touchscreen if it will affect the clarity of the screen in any way.

Thanks
Dear Mobelby:

In all the fanfare of the coming EZ Reader PRO, everyone has forgotten the EZ Reader PLUS. That will also be coming along but will have Touchscreen but fewer other features. Maybe Touch and Wi-Fi.

There is a project being looked at now to add Wi-Fi to the existing EZ Reader Base Model via an SD card. This is receiving a good look and you MAY see the Wi-Fi sold as an option on the Base Model some day. I know no more at this time. If I hear more you will know!

Sony came out with Touchscreen and people are not exactly complimentary on the loss of clarity, I hear. SO... your comment is relevant.

There is also talk of eventually using the wireless on your cell phone to Bluetooth into the EZ Reader without the need to go wireless. This is conjecture>>> but is receiving a lot of support! MAYBE?? I have no details!
