The only reason I'm willing to pay more for a device that has a slightly worse display is that I value those PocketBook system features.
The 840 got bad reviews when it launched in Russia, in August. That may have lead to the European launch being delayed. It's not shipping until the end of the month:

I have one on pre-order.
