this has nothing to do with Wifi, it has to do with the document
management software.

I played with this a little at the store, it seems to be pretty
responsive (at E-ink speed limitations), It does read PDF and a few
popular e-reader formats, but I found it still a bit coarׁ•e. and the GUI
left me wanting. If anyone knows of a different/cheaper e-reader that
does RTL and Hebrew, please let us know.
