I actually read comfortably with less light with the Jetbook than I used to need with paper books. Seems the paper tended to absorb and disperse light. While Reflective TFT screen sends it back to your eyes.

GH, I hear what you mean exactly! Couldn't agree more. The 'flashing' I've seen with the Sony and Kindle Monsters is more distracting and annoying than not being able to have a dozen books in your pocket, not to mention the 'artifacts' left on the screen (that their user manuals actually warn of!)
And yes, I've found myself reading in all sorts of illumination situations that a paperBook wouldn't have 'allowed'. (eg, halfmoon-light, glaring sunlight directly over head, the light from my clock/radio).
...and how 'bout that size, man? Smaller than a trade paperback... !speaks for itself!
