I do not get why people are so hung up on the wireless access thing. When you consider how much space these readers have (and how many books that translates into) one of the new 300's can hold my entire reading list for the next 5 years. Since I do not read magazines or newspapers, there is no use case that would drive me to think that the benefit of wireless access is worth the cost.
I know that this isn't true for many people, including busy frequent travelers and periodical readers.
For most regular book readers, wireless is a useless feature that is being over-sold by Amazon and over-hyped by the technical media. I am perfectly happy with my Sony PRS-505 and I resent the implication that the Sony readers are somehow "inadequate" because they don't have this one pointless "feature".
Ok, perhaps I wouldn't mind a new 300. A little more speed would be nice and the smaller form factor would fit better in a pocket (try that with a Kindle - HAH!)
