Do I need to on wifi to use nexus 7?

[batikdruid]

I am going to use my new Nexus 7 as an ereader -- haven't had any luck so far getting it on WiFi upon opening it, but I really just want to load some books on it -- do I HAVE to be online to just read? I haven't seen any type of interface at all yet... hopefully after this WIFI setup I'll see something.... interesting?

To set up your Nexus 7 upon first use, you have to have a WiFi connection. After that, WiFi is optional, though many apps won't function or are pretty much useless without it.
