nope. they keep the current feature set, keep the 3g wwan, and enable support for ePub. the fact of the matter is, that your mom (generic generalization here - not claiming to know or trying to diss anyone's mom) thinks books + internet = amazon. that is their #1 asset - brand recognition.
between the kobo touch and the new nook, the "mini-ipad-looking" eink touch market has just been cornered. in the US, nook will win. Canada, Australia, other places where the kobo is the standard, they will win.
Sony, sorry. too little, too late, just like your PS3 "sorry you got hacked" gift basket of games everyone that cares already played. it doesn't matter that they did touch right, first.
