Since I can do the same thing with a JetBook, any advantage in that regard the Sony had has been rendered moot.

You know this and I know this. But, someone who doesn't know this will take what's written as fact even though it is incorrect. This chart was put out when the Jetbook was first available for sale. And for one, Ectaco has never corrected it yet. While the post above says that Sony wasn't clear enough about whether the 500 could ro could not read DRM protected PDF, that has since been sorted. Ectaco has not sort out it's misleading/incorrect statements at all.
If I didn't know much about eBooks readers except that Joe Smith has one and he likes it and it reading
The Hobbit and that sounds good to me and I go looking online and find the Jetbook and see the chart, I'm going to think the Jetbook is all that and more because I can get my eBooks for free. Well, I cannot get
The Hobbit for free unless Ectaco is willing to get me a pirated copy. And if they cannot get me a copy, then what they are saying in their chart is wrong.
