Well, I think it is debatable about whether the Sony does more.. particularly if we compare it to the Kindle or the Nook or the new Kobo that will be out soon. Even the Sony Pocket costs more than the Kobo but it doesn't have wireless while the Kobo does.
Now that being said, I think a case can be made that the excellent Sony Touch Screen and peerless build quality might justify the cost... but that will depend on the individual.
