This prototype loses all that goodness, in exchange for looking like a near-clone of the other eInk boxes on the market. Why would I replace my PRS500 with this box? I'm not seeing a reason at the moment...

Here, here. The only software feature I liked is annotation and exporting it later with rbmake. The rest where all in the shape and buttons. It was a device to fit in your hand, not a rectangular pad you handle with the tips of your fingers. If reading with REB1100 can be compared chopping the fire wood with an axe, the Sony can be compared with doing the same using the axe without handle.
