that seems like a non-reason to me. If you can d/l it isn't it always "ready"? Most ebooks can bed d/l in seconds at broadband speeds.

You can d/l it to your PC or re-download to the device. Every ebook store I have bought from allows you to re-download your purchase whenever you want.

Also, if you d/l via WiFi to the device when you do hook it up to your PC via USB you can always sync the stuff to your computer.

I think many people rationalize why they don't need something that they don't have, so they won't miss having it.

It's like having a full size spare vs one of the donuts. You don't need a full size spare until you need it. Then you'll be sorry you saved a few hundred bucks when you bought the car.
