Some of the features they will miss out on are:

left justification
searchable ebooks
dictionary lookup
searchable ebooks
Content Management (being able to delete ebooks on the device w\o a PC)
searchable ebooks
being able to list your ebooks by title, then jump to a page after typing the first few letters of a title


Oh, wait. You can still do these things if you don't have whispernet. My bad.
