What I really like about the Jetbook (see my review) was the folder support and built in file manager. Also, the LCD screen was fast. Bottom line though it is more expensive than the Sony and the eInk screen is better. Although Sony has no dictionary lookup. Also, the Sony does support DRM formats... but with the deDRM tools not so much of an issue.

If this was a $199 device it would be much more compelling. But, good catch on the FB2. I never tired that format when I had the review unit.
