I really like the screen's clarity on my 650 and the clean lines of the device. The keyboard has already been mentioned, but to me all the buttons down the side of the Jetbook and Aluratek Libre Pro are distracting as well. Also, I found them to limit how I could potentially hold the device.
Like many others who already posted, the ability to access e-books from my public library is a wonderful feature along with not being locked into one retailer. Touchscreen for using the menus is great (the 600 convinced me of that, but the fuzzy appearance of the screen prevented me from buying) as is the easy dictionary feature.
Are you trying to understand why people will pay the extra money for a Sony over a less expensive Kindle, Jetbook, or Libre Pro? If so, all I can say to help is that the experience of a device is very personal and cannot be picked off a computer screen based on a spec or feature list. Whether a couple of features plus or minus on a device makes a difference is part of the decision process that isn't just about the features for money part of the equation. Recently my parents needed to replace a dying computer and decided on a laptop this time. They requested my husband's assistance as the family's IT guy. It annoyed my father to no end that my husband would not do anything until the two of them could go shopping together to touch the laptops instead of picking something from a website. By the end Dad understood because what he actually bought after trying many floor models was nothing like what he would have chosen online based on just a list of features and specs.
