Basically what he has created is a searchable database of as many ereaders as he can find, organized by a wide range of search parameters. I know that all blogs that deal with ereaders have reviews of loads of different ereaders, and most have these reviews organized in some way to enable you to relatively easily get to those reviews, but as far as I know, he has produced the only site that is specifically organized to allow visitors to find ereaders defined by a whole range of parameters, and easily too.
