Except that:
1. This device does NOT support "any" of the current ebook file formats such as mobi, epub, or eReader.
2. This device does NOT support "any" of the current ebook DRM schemes, see item 1.
3. This device is not available world wide. (yet?)
My questions about this device are:
1. Does it have dictionary support? (The jetbook does).
2. Does it support PDF reflow?
3. Is the battery replaceable?
4. Does it support folders? (Jetbook does)
However, the price seems right. I would rather get this device over the Jetbook. A $200 5inch eInk device to me is much more desirable than a $300 5inch LCD device.
Supporting Mobi, even nonDRM version would be nice. But, as someone said, maybe this would run some open source OS or reader to make up for the format issues.
