I recently lost my kindle and was thinking of buying a new e-book reader. It occurred to me that it would be great if I found an e-book reader that doesn't have an online store, and one which I have to go onto my desktop, or transfer e-books via a cable, to add a book onto it.

Another important thing I would like is the ability to read an article online on my desktop and send it to my e-reader (I used to be able to do this via a kindle chrome addon and found it very useful)

Anyone have any suggestions for a device that would fufill the above criteria?

Thanks
With the latest Kindle firmware, it is much easier to ignore the Store. The link is no longer in the menu when reading a book, and it’s just a tiny shopping cart icon when viewing Library.
