The truly unique thing about the Jetbook lite is that is uses 4 AA batterys.
They can be standard Alkaline, or similar, non rechargeable.
Or you can use a rechargeable AA battery.
With 2 sets of battery's, assuming you have the spare set charged.
You never have to stop reading to charge your reader. You simply swap out the old batterys for the fresh ones, power up, and go back to reading. 5 minutes tops from shut down to back to your book.
A couple of us are using the new NiZn rechargeable batterys that output 1.6v instead of the standard 1.2v with pretty good results.
Also if a standard Li-Ion battery needs to be replaced its 30$ + and taking the case apart. It is rated for 3 - 500 duty cycles. Depending on how much you read that could be as little as a year.
NiZn 4 battery set sells for 13$ and is rated for 1 - 2,000 duty cycles. Even at rechargeing them daily that is 3 - 5 years and less than half the cost.
As for what is truly unique over competition, #1 answer has to be price.
#2 is AA batterys, #3 would be reflective TFT screen that is easy to read in all light with no flash and almost instantaneous page turn.
