Above everything and for now, however, is having good dictionaries support, and Amazon still seems to win this comparison with every other manufacturer. Apparently, PocketBook has good ones on BookLand, but I can't still find a monolingual Italian for one of its devices!
Kindles do not do epubs without a jailbreak. Now you can use calibre to convert to a kindle friendly format. Also not all ebooks at Amazon have DRM. That is up to the publisher.
