Exactly this. I use the Wikipedia connection to look up things in books a LOT.
Of course, I also need the wifi on so that my books sync automatically. I can literally just close the cover on the kindle in my office, walk upstairs to my bedroom and open the book on the kindle that's up there and pick up where I left off. The most I may have to do is tap "sync to furthest page read" on the second kindle. If I hadn't opened the book yet on that kindle, it will automatically open at the page I stopped at downstairs.
It's enough like magic* that it still makes me smile almost every time.
*"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" (and yes, I know that syncing is not really "advanced tech", but it definitely seems like magic to non-technical people)
