As I see it, with the Kindle you are buying not only an eBook reader, you are also buying a relationship with the Amazon company.

After giving it some thought, I decided that I don't want to buy a relationship with anybody. I just want to buy some books.

So I have been looking elsewhere for an eBook reader.

From reading the many threads and testimonials here for the past three months, I have concluded that if price is important, the best choice is the jetBook or the jetBook Lite. But if performance (such as the firmware) is most important, it looks like the Pocketbook is the best choice.
