As for need for the cell feature that really depends on how much time you spend in the presence of wifi you can access I guess. My first Kindle (3 keyboard) had the feature but back then I do not think there was wifi ability so it was important. My latest kindle (Oasis 1) does not have the cell feature but I do not really need it since I have wifi at home and work. When out in the world I typically do not have access of course but I am usually just reading.
Having said that, the cell feature would be nice in some regards because I am one of those that typically switches between reading on the kindle and listening to the audible version on my iphone and the whispersync is awesome at keeping my place as I switch between the two. So in those cases having the cell feature so that my Kindle updates where things are would be nice. Right now I have to get my Kindle into Wifi coverage so that it all stays in sync unless I want to do it all manually.
Writing all that made me wonder if the the Oasis 2 keeps things in sync between audible (using Audible on the device) and kindle without the need of wifi or cell since both are on the same hardware?
