I understand it is not a big deal to connect the USB cable. I've been doing it for years and years. But that's not what the customers want. The customers want their books downloaded directly to the ebook reader.

In fact, I am quite shocked that after so many rumors and customer requests Sony came up with two unconnected readers whose only advantage seems to be their "lower" price. Absolutely ridiculous.
But given their October release dates, maybe they have another reader yet to be released with a larger screen and wifi. And if Sony is going with the flxi screen for a larger screen, then that would make sence why no information now.
