Still, on the positive side, we have another EPUB eBook reader hitting the market, which has to be a good thing for the uptake of eBooks.

Since everyone is also using exactly the same e-ink displays manufactured by PVI, that pretty much just leaves them trying to compete on cost. I'm not expecting much innovation here until the majority of publishers agree to go without DRM.
