i love my jetbook. when ereaders were first becoming big i did a bunch of research and decided on a jetbook. i still think it’s the best reader out there and wouldn’t trade it for anything else. it’s a beautiful little beast.

With the latest firmware which the Jetbook ships with, Jetbook is now capable of using SDHC cards giving it almost unbelievable storage. Currently I have a 4 gig SDHC card, have over 5000 titles loaded on it, with room for more. At one book a day thats over 15 years of reading on a sleek 7 oz reader.

Also it supports htm/html format, even though it isn’t listed. Jetbook also has more font size choices than any other reader on the market.

I’ve used mine 4 – 10 hours a day for over 6 months and it just keeps right on doing its thing. I’m about to buy a Jetbook light just for the convenience of being able to swap battery’s instead of having to set it aside to let it charge.

If you want to get your books directly from an online bookstore, then look at Kindle or Sony. But if your willing to download your books from the internet,then transfer them to an SD card, then Jetbook is clearly the way to go.

It supports more file formats than any other reader. Your not “tied” to a company like Amazon or Sony. You can get your books wherever you can find them.

And there are oodles of free books out there including google books which lists many public domain titles which are available to download.
