Barry, you don't generally use Calibre, right? What would you say is percentage of books that download with no metadata? Mine usually have it, but more than a few show up blank.
I admit I don't need to look up a synopsis for every book on my device, but it bugs me when it doesn't work.

Why are you so eager never to connect your reader to the cloud? I download my books to my Kindle directly from the cloud. It's easy and never a problem. It does give Amazon information about me but I have a lot of information about them too so that's okay.
On my Nook and my Kobo I keep the Wifi off and simply drag and drop books to them from my PC. The reason is that I never have any reason to use Wifi on those although I would turn it on without hesitation if I had a reason.

I leave Wi-Fi off on my Kobo mainly because I have it all patched up and don't want new firmware to download and wipe out my hard work. Kobos are great at allowing customization, but I'm not a big fan of the straight out of the box software experience.
