The 300mhz processor is faster than the Sony PRS-505 one, which might help in loading large size books/PDF files/pictures,or the indexing of a larger library.
Also the battery is a larger capacity; could be good!
I just hope it has great powersavings like the Sony.
I thought (from the looks of it) that this would be a cheap product (due to it's bulky design), though it actually has something under the hood to show off!
I'm not really sure if a lot of people will be charmed by the design.

You also mention "an entirely original creation of Neolux", but it still uses E-ink display. So it'll still be at least as expensive as the Sony PRS-505 or more!

I guess that the display is about the only expensive thing on the device!

What I really hope is that there will be more sub $200 products arriving to the market! This device could be a sub $80 if it wasn't for the display (and probably the licences for viewing files).
