I beg to differ. Apart from the Waterproofing, the Tolino has an interesting little feature noone else has: you tap on the back of it to turn the pages. I have tried it some months ago in a bookshop and was actually quite impressed by that. It is not a perfect copy of the PW imho. Nor is the Bookeen Muse Frontlight, which has physical buttons, and quite an impressive display.

There are other fishes in the sea, but with less money to back them up PRwise.
