WiFi? Not so much. Plus, even with 3G access, I still had a full two weeks of usage of my Kindle 2 without a single recharge -- and I read on the plane to Mexico, the plane home; and every day at the hotel and on the beach.
And not for a moment did I feel my life was impoverished without access to a touch screen to turn the pages ....

Don't know what to tell ya, the nook has 3G as well and I don't know why wi fi is a difficult chore for you , it really is fairly basic.
but to each his own. All I'm just saying is since both the Kindle and the Nook have 3G they cancel each other out. and to me if I had to choose between wi fi or whispernet, Wi Fi everytime, No question.
but you perfer whispernet and that's cool
