Look at the features that this item provides...
I've looked and what I found is LESS then the original CyBook provides:
- no PalmDoc, HTML, TXT and MOBI/PRC support
- no GIF or PNG
- no dictionary support (due to missing MOBI/PRC)
- said 12 adjustable font sizes (+ 4 adjustable shades of grey?!?) is somewhat misleading
- just up to 10 books with one battery charge (?)

There are just 2 things this version newly provides:
- folder support (which isn't mentioned)
- (DRMed) ePUB support

To be honest: I can live without both, especially if I'll loose all the other stuff mentioned! (The Weltbild version is a step to the side and 2 steps back...)

Hopefully the new FW release will let us keep all the good parts from above and just adds folder and ePUB support + PDF-Reflow ability (and no new bugs!).
