On paper there is, but in practice things are a bit different.
Like pdf and txt.. maybe the reader is slower to convert a color pdf to 8 greyscales than a bebook doing the same page to 4 greyscales..?
It'd be nice to also have a matrix on that in the wiki.. But for that, you'd have to test all devices with the same type of documents...

Oh, I agree that in practice things are quite a bit difference. In my particular example, I saw the first Reader at Sony Style off-and-on for many months. When the Kindle came out and I played with it, I could see the difference.
It would be nice to be able to test all the various devices, but that doesn't happen anymore. I am not sure how it is in other parts of the world, but in the U.S. it's rare to find electronics stores with a very wide range of devices. It's even rarer to find said places with
working demo units. Those shelves of non-working-unit PDAs were just too sad!
So, the best bet is to look into YouTube Videos, but even then the folks making the videos don't often have test units for side-by-sides. We all do the best we can.
