Look at the video linked in an another thread
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...=22658&page=31 and you will learn even more interesting ... aehm ... facts ;-)

"what makes it different from other products on the market - it's really thin"
(he is showing rebranded Hanlin - the same thickness as all the other readers)

"is't also small, so you can carry it in a purse"
(see the previous comment)

"it comes with a 'crush resistant' case"
(the term 'crush resistant' case, ... where did I hear that? I wonder how much of a 'crush' the case can withstand. Is it made of ribbed titanium? Or perhaps only a magnesium-aluminum alloy? Does it at least have some 3mm thick lining of carbon-kevlar laminate?)

AND ....
"it has an equalizer!"
(WOW! *That* is what I have been missing from my reader all the time! Forget directory support, user replaceable fonts, touch screen, low price. )
[OK, OK, I shall stop being sardonic for the rest of the comment]

and now comes the really juicy part.
The moderator says that:
"the Sony will only read DRM-ed texts"
...
"... And with the Kindle you have to do that weird thing, you have to send it to their servers and than it comes back to your Kindle"
<sigh>
