Dear Booknut:

The Pearl is made by PVI (a screen manufacturer in Taiwan). They are one of the oldest such firms and actually invented eBook Readers 5 years or so ago. They now own E-Ink.

SipIX is made by am entirely different and relatively new manufacturer. Their screens were to have been out by now... and thyen ran into a total "hold" just before full manufacturing started. Their screens are very nice and seem to be lower in cost!
