Only the two formats is a real step down from what JBL offers.

offerings in the three DRM scams supported by the JBL, so another step down.

2GB SB card support, while plenty for such a device, is again a step down from the 32GB
SDHC support of the JBL.

It is perhaps more the pure portable eReading device. Its smaller size, lighter weight, and lower power consumption outshines the JBL in that regard.

I like it as a basic reader for the kids (especially at its likely eventual street price) or for
a mobile technophobe that I would be willing to support, like a parent or neighbor.

I think that for this one time, I'm going to not be the first kid on the block with the new toy. I suspect the mini is going to have some teething problems.
