PVI had to design their own. So, the Epson is really the first controller that is specifically designed for eBook Readers. A controller goes into the memory and finds what you need. The Epson controller is far faster at this. That is most powerful. It was not a boast... it was fact!
Yes, it is true, the epson controller is fast. However the Hanlin devices are not the only ones using it. A quick look in the Wiki at the E-book_Reader_Matrix turns up :
5" : Hanvon, AzBooka,
6" : Sony, Kindle, Pocketbook, and Txtr.
There may be more which I don't know about.
