I think I moved this thread off topic. Sorry about all that. I do want to comment on the Wifi. Like the Iliad I expect one will be able to turn it off. If it can be used even for a short time each day to pull the full newspaper, download books and on occasion a glance at wikipedia then it is worth having Wifi. Then turn it off and the battery issue goes away. The intent is not to have it running as a companion while reading. It is like the gas speedpass. You don't need it but it is nice to have to save a bit of time and of course there is the convenience. Otherwise tether your reader to the PC and forget about Wifi.

I have come to an executive decision and it is based on my comments earlier in the thread. I really expect the SW to appear after this next firmware upgrade. I think this is the firmware upgrade that turns the reader into the device everyone expected when they made this purchase. If it doesn't then I get the current Digital Reader. If the SW does appear then I'll buy the SW.
