I think the Kobo is a $99 machine. That being said, I did not mind paying the $149 to be an early adapter. My guess is the price will come down leading into the holiday season.

The Nook was my first choice of eReader, however the price point was too high (at the time) and I don't want to deal with the U.S. only restraints.

As far as WiFi goes, I am fine without out. The only time I really want it is to sync it with my iPod Touch. I'd settle for a Bluetooth sync though. I have the Touch with me all the time, not the Kobo. It'd be nice to have current bookmarks on both devices. I tend to only plug in/sync when my battery is in need of a charge.
