Specs are up at:

which shows display resolution as being 132 dpi,
which is more than a netbook,
I just looked up a couple of the Asus eee's, which I use, they ran from 133 dpi to 200 dpi The 200 dpi is the latest and greatest, and I'm not sure, if it really qualifies as a netbook [model 1601].
but less than the 150 to 166 dpi of an iPhone or a Kindle or an e-Ink display. One would need to check it out in person to make sure that one is happy with the resolution – some people don’t seem to care at all about resolution, other people seem to be very sensitive to it.
I find the resolution on my eee's to be just great, even when I double the strength of my reading glasses to watch something in detail.
10 watt charger is huge power compared to a Kindle, for those people who care about that aspect.
/what about when the battery dies?
They said it supported epub in the announcement, but its not in the specs, so maybe that is only with the iBooks reader app. It would be a bummer if iBooks is a tightly closed app like the nook reader!
I've already heard the DRM is VERY tight.
