Engadget has a better article which includes the press release. Some of the more interesting tidbits I've bulleted below.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/31/s...inch-e-reader/

Library access from the device over WiFi in US/UK/Canada.
Web Browser access to download any DRM-free epub you want, from where you want.
Six font styles (vague, but seems to hint at font choice on some level), 8 font sizes.
Still retains audio playback capability, making this very competitive with the Nook STR if that's your thing.
In-Text access to Google and Wikipedia lookups.
Translation dictionaries.

Plus the other stuff already mentioned in the thread about the Dutch article.

Now I'm kinda angry I picked up the STR instead of waiting. This device, if the font styles are what I think they are, literally fills the last couple of holes in the feature set from Sony that drove me to the Nook in the first place (Sony's font rendering on the 650 with custom fonts beats the Nook easily enough).
