As it has no second (colour) screen it's a different class of device, but it's nice to see other bigger devices apart from the eDGe, the Kindle DX and the old iRex.
Many most serious russian and ukrainer programmers currently work on PocketBook firmware, so for sure it will beat Kindle and iRex on features.
p.s. PocketBook is also very small companies (70 people in total include programmers and offshore offices), and young (2years) company, but they're allready #1 in russia, and sale more than 150 000 devices quartely. And they succeed only with the help of the best firmware on the market, hiring the best programmers possible
