While true, how many people in this day and age (especially tech savvy people who'd be interested in the iPad) don't have WiFi at home?
And even if you don't, I'd still say downloading on PC and hooking up the iPad to the PC with the docking cable is easy access since most people are used to dragging and dropping files on MP3 players, flash drives, external hard drives etc. that way.
I mean I really like the wireless on my Kindle 1, but it's not huge factor for me as it's not a big deal to drag and drop a couple times a month (at most) when I buy new books.
