I think it is fair to say that a Windows Mobile 6 device like the iPAQ 214 is more "versatile" in that it has a wider range of software available than the Nokia Internet Tablets. This includes a wider range of e-book reader software. However, the Nokia's have enough software available to make them very capable for many application areas. Also, 800 pixels wide is much better for some web pages than 640.
The Nokia's 4.1" screen is almost exactly 1/2 the size of a 6" E-Ink screen, but its pixels per inch is higher and it is in color. For e-books, a Nokia would typically be in landscape mode and you then have the same width as the 6" screen but need twice as many (very fast) page turns.
