Yes, I had already realized that. What I meant in practice is that I
don't care if wifi is weak, slow... I would appreciate if I can turn
it off to make the battery last even longer, that's all.

About the "available on amazon". True, of course, but there are some
options. After your email, I checked the Kobo devices: the Forma costs
~240 EUR, but the "Kobo Clara HD" is at ~110 EUR now, and from the
reviews looks reliable, and with a very good screen. Its only problem
is that it is SMALLER than I asked, 6 inches, but maybe that is
acceptable, I will check with the "end user". What do you think?

Thanks.
Marco
