				BE and WiFi
			 
			
			I just got an iLiad Book Edition (had the Sony 505).  Was was wondering if I made a mistake in not getting the Second Edition with WiFi.  What do you guys use the WiFi connection for, other than web browsing?  Am I missing something by not having it?  Hopefully someone will come up with a hack to use the USB slot for a WiFi stick.

			I haven't had it for long, but so far, i've found it extremely convenient for syncing the files and downloading newspaper. Definitely beats using a cable or a card reader    |

			I use it for syncing files with my PC.  You can do the same thing with a wired network connection or a USB connection though.  There's nothing extra that the wireless really gives you other than convenience.  It's up to you how much that convenience is worth.
