True, but the fact alone that it can store lots and lots of information, has the ability to obtain new information wirelessly, is "flat, book shaped, with a large screen and lots of buttons underneath the screen", etc... is what sells me on the comparison. Being able to store Wikipedia offline would definitely clinch the deal though, even if it just stored entries on geographical locations and places, ignoring everything else... or if it had a Wiki app that let you choose topics and "cache" them locally. That would be awesome.
