Ok as an article. I do find it amazing the number of reviews that make the lack of wireless a make or break factor. I assume that with wireless they are being referring to the Kindle and Sony with the 3G mobile-phone-wireless and not 802.11 WiFi you have on your notebooks?

Well, wireless connectivity appeals to those that prefer their ebook reader to be a standalone gadget rather than a PC-fed accessory.
All a matter of taste I suppose. |

Being that the PEz ability to organize files (your library) is about nil at this time, using a PC is almost mandatory any way.
I can think of many reasons not to do WiFi, Cell or Blue Tooth connectivity. They all have to do with battery usage |

Wireless costs money. Reviewers should be aware that not everyone has the money to buy every good idea.
