Upon further reflection, wi-fi doesn't really figure in my life except when I'm at home. And when I'm at home, the preferred viewing option is always going to be the big HD TV in the living room (with my own largish desktop monitor or smaller bedroom TV being the fallback options if the living room TV is otherwise in use, depending on whether I have DVDs/vid files available or are using the DVR/watching live TV). Streaming is the absolute last resort, and if I'm streaming media at home my netbook is right there. (The desktop has no internet access anymore -- if it did I might be more interested in streaming things. As it is now, I torrent vid files instead if I can find them.)

So I think the Kindle I wind up getting is going to be one of the other models -- with 3G, which means I'm debating between keyboard and touch. (Also, given I won't be ordering one until I have Xmas gift money to play with, I'm wondering if it would be a good idea for me to do some preliminary work with my fic archives, getting a jump on the task of selecting the favorites I'll want to load and converting them into MOBI files (or downloading same from AO3).

(And I'm going through a Discworld reread at the moment, so I'd be tempted to call my Kindle "Ook" when I finally get one, a reference to the Librarian at Unseen University. Though I suppose Giles would also be a good option.)
