Just as you think I am silly for not liking touch screens (smudges and fingerprints annoy me) or a small color lcd screen (drain my battery so I can look at thumbnail size book covers) I think that you are ignoring some improvements simply because you don't think they are a big deal.
It has a new screen that is much improved. The people who have the Sony 505 and the DXG have said that the new Pearl screen is better then the 505. I have never seen the 505 screen but it seems to be the screen people compare all other screens to.
It has better PDF functionality. Now you can take notes and use the dictionary, something people have complained is lacking since the K2 was launched.
It has greatly increased the number of languages that the reader can display making the reader accessible to people in Japan, China, Russia and a large number of other countries.
It has 4 GB of storage. So I can store 3,500 books on my device.
It has a battery life of one month with whispernet turned off. OK, so this one strikes me as a bit unnecessary but I can see some folks who do serious backpacking or sailing or who will be away from a power supply for some reason liking this.
It is 21% smaller then the K2. It is small then the Nook, even with a keyboard.
You can call all of that not much, others think that they are great.
