My point was about hardware features. I've said that three times so far.

With the exception of audio, the features you've listed have to do with software, not hardware.

Besides which, your list, which factors in software, leaves out certain of the Simple Touch's advantages. Font choices, for example. The effect of draft N on software choices for another, which is faster than the Wifi on my 950 and impacts the structure of the ST's UI as well as hardware speed.

I don't expect to be web surfing with any eReader, but those who must will clearly find the experience faster on the ST -- not only in terms of specs, but also given what I experienced in B&N. I tried my 950 and Kindle there as well.

And I've already addressed your dictionary feature with the mention of a rooted Android reader. Too early to tell what the Simple Touch will do in that regard.
