(The hardware changes slightly, distributor to distributor, but the software seems the same, give or take the Polish site's weird text-to-voice software.)

It'll be interesting to see how these devices stack up and will change with the new ones coming out from Kobo and Kindkle (although not from a format perspective).
It will be, but I must admit that their imminent arrival does little to make me question the optimality of my decision. I prefer Onyx/Pocketbook's paradigm of eReader-as-pure-eReader, as opposed the majors' (Amazon, B&N, Sony & Kobo) paradigm of eReader-as-sales-portal (also Kindle doesn't do epub, which my entire collection is in). I have a computer. It is far better suited for searching for, buying & downloading eBooks than any eReader could be.

I'm still very conflicted with my choices PocketBook 622, Onyx Boox I62HD & the Sony Reader PRS-T2. Maybe a manual for the Onyx Boox I62HD would really help.
I looked at the PB622 & rejected it as being cutting-edge price for old tech (non-HD, capacitive touchscreen). The hardware on the PRST2 is hardly changed from the PRST1 (and again is non-HD).
