Yeah me too. I love Calibre, and enjoy browsing for books, reading reviews, orgainising my library and so forth on my computer.
My 2c about wifi/3G: It takes me about a week to finish a book. Plenty of time to sort out a new book to read and load it to the Kobo. My reading list is already overflowing. I don't find myself pulling out my Kobo on the train and going "Oh no! I don't have a book to read! I wish I had wifi access to a bookstore. Damn I wish I owned a Kindle."
I think that by dropping superfluous features like wifi and a web browser, Kobo have taken the obvious step in the evolution of eInk devices: make a cheap, no-frills reader that appeals to people who read books, not people who want an all-in-one portable media device.
