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

To me, the iLiad and DR1000 are leaps and bounds better than the Kindle/Sony. The larger screen, writing support, wifi and bluetooth(!!!) support, folder hierarchy, etc.

These devices are more of a paper replacement than the other ebook devices.
