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.

WiFi IMO is not worth the extra money. The selling point on the WiFi is that you can get a book instantly when you have nothing to read. I have over 50 books on my SD Card that I have not read yet, and cannot see ever not having a list of unread books on my device.

When I want to add more books I just pop out my SD Card and slip it in my Netbook and copy the books over. It only takes a few seconds.

I'd rather have more features and definitely a color screen before WiFi.
