I'm sure that jetBook is as hackable as 505 since it is Linux-based too, but I couldn't find a related forum neither on this site nor in Internet...
One reason may be that the Jetbook mostly reads .txt and FB2 formats.. and there is software for those formats rather than for the specific reader. I have not seen any hacks to the Jetbook... probably because it isn't as popular as some of the other ones discussed here.
