This is true of the Kindle as well. Assuming people don't strip DRM, Cool-Er has the advantage of reading DRM PDF books, but Kindle has the advantage of reading DRM AZW books. Everything else can be converted so can be read on either device. But the Cool-Er's PDF reading is really not practical, so ...

As for button presses, I agree he's exaggerating a bit. But the point is, when you compare it to the Kindle, almost any device that doesn't have it's own font size button is going to require more clicks to do the same job.
