Well, physically an iPod screen is 3.5 inches, versus 5.5 for an eBookwise, so screen real estate is greater, even if resolution is the same. And even refurb, a Touch will run about $150, versus $85. Plus, the ergonomics are better, as is battery life. So, if the device is to be used purely as ereader (and one's prepared to deal with format conversion), an EB-1150 wins. If you want to do stuff other than read, a Touch is more versatile, and for those to whom it matters, more portable.
