Email to phone, tablet, laptop?

I've had real email on my phone since 2000. Not everyone has a laptop/PC, but out of curiosity I connected my Kindle to my ancient Sony Ericsson Android phone years ago via a $2 dumb USB adaptor on the phone and the supplied Amazon USB cable and I was able to download from Gutenberg and copy to the phone. A saved email (pop, imap) or Webmail attachment would work too.

Saves a lot of reading time not having WiFi activated on the eReader.

But I'm not stopping others doing it, it just seems a weak reason to say get a PW4 than a Kobo Libra, which without Amazon spam AKA Special Offers is currently cheaper, slightly brighter white, better annotation to laptop and 7" is a nicer screen size. I did buy my PW3 after the PW4 came out, thinking they'd shortly be unavailable from Amazon. Comparing wife's PW3 and the son's PW4, all agreed the PW4 was greyer. I prefer reading with ambient light only.
