The big screen with better resolution than the competitor (if i would think of the Sony Reader and the iLiad adressing the same market) is for sure a advantage.

The touch screen?
Has potential, but needs calibration for sure.

The potential for multiple implementations of various reader software for a broad range of formats?
Is clearly an advantage. But you would need the SDK or the will of publishers to write readers.

To write your own software for it? ....
That would need the SDK. Well, I think you all know about that.

Like I said elsewhere:
The Sony Reader is a "toy" you can play with now, you have all accessories you need (Connect-Store with DRMed books), the iLiad is like a "bag of LEGO bricks" here, but currently it's like they are glued together, so you can't change the form to somwthing you would like to.

I don't have a better idea of how I could say that.
