So, from reading this site, a couple of noteable things:

1. It states you can install any TrueType font... so thats cool. But only 3 size levels.
2. It supports up to 4GB memory cards.
3. "Future" support for Mobireader. Of course, when is important?
4. It doesn't mention dictionary support.
5. It seems to have a page indicator.
6. Can you only turn the pages with the buttons on the left?
7. €329 ($508) seems like alot... $200 more than a Sony and basically the same features (or less) from some obscure Dutch company... at least obscure to me.

Yes, it is nice to have more of these devices in the market... less chicken/egg arguments from book publishers.
