Dear All:

Actually, this does have the Epson Controller with 400MHz processor, user-replaceable rechargeable battery, SD card to 16GB for memory expansion, E-Ink for 9,000 pages to a single charge, plays full version of Sudoku, one-press to change from verticle to horizontal, MP3 and you can read WHILE playing music, and 8 level gey scale. It comes with the crush-resistant case included!!

I do not know what category-leading truly means. The Mentor Lite certainly is not as popular as the Kindle... but I think it does compare very favorably. It depends what you want and what is important. If speed and a user-replaceable battery and memory card expansion are critical to you and you want to pay under $150 for a great device... this IS category leading!
