I agree - especially for those of us outside of the US where functionality of the Kindle is restricted due to the high cost of wireless network.

But the one downside to running with wifi turned on would be the battery drain - my Blackberry has wifi, as well as 3G, and if I turn the wifi on the battery drains twice as quickly.

But it would be nice if I could get graphics in newspapers and magazine and I am willing to download to my PC to get them.
