Actually, not so much. The DR1000 to me is basically the same as the Kindle/Sony. The main difference is the size it geared toward PDFs which makes me call it a "document" reader rather than an eBook reader. While technically it can read eBooks I think most people will be getting it mainly to be able to read PDFs that are formatted for an 8.5x11 or 8.5x14 page.

So, other than the size I think the technology is pretty similar.
