I am continuing with my previous rant, after I have calmed down a little bit ;-)
...
- it supports 14 e-book formats, including .doc, .docx, mobi, epub, DRMed epub ...
- The manufacturer published tool for creating dictionaries so there are quite a few very interesting user-created dictionaries on the net, and even the oldest ones work on new models
- there is an SDK for apps,
- there are apps already available on the net that work on reader and we can expect more (if the model isn't abandoned by manufacturer the way PB302 was)
- there is tool (I think there will be, to be honest, because they published it for all previous models) for changing the user interface - so called themes,
- there is support for menu in 21 languages out of box, with a very easy path for creating and installing additional language translations - just translate a single file in a text editor and drop it into /system/language directory on your reader
- there is support for easy and seamless installation of user binaries for the reader. Out of box, absolutely no hacking required - unlike other manufacturers that fight you tooth and nail if you want even to install a font or change a "screensaver"
- the manufacturer doesn't beg you to register ANYWHERE, unlike quite a few manufacturers that hold your device hostage until you register it - Kobo, Nook, Kindle
The only readers that have more features available are those few new ones with Android 4.0 and better.
You and I consider all those a given fact, because we are buying a legendary PockeBook so we grumble about our favorite option missing, but readers reading your blog are not always as well informed.
Even UI changes I am *so* frustrated with, are considered to be standard features for all other e-ink readers
