So, what's the closest I can get to that sort of experience? Is it possible to get the same sort of thing over Wifi? Or would I need to somehow get the newspaper and pop it onto a memory stick?

I like the Sony devices, they're cheap and available in the UK, but no Wifi, what other devices should I consider? They can all view books, so I'm more interested in comparisons over newspaper/blog reading etc.

All the best

Concerning WiFi:
There's a thread in the iRex iLiad forum. One of the users has written a script to download a daily edition of his newspaper automatically via WiFi. I think it was "Daily Telegraph". Anyhow, the author in detail describes how to modify that script to link to another daily newspaper.
As it's PDF-download, it's working like a charm of course.
