 1- Because it's e-ink, and thus reads better, and has long battery life (although lately cellphones and netbooks using regular TFT/LCD screens have used better power optimizations,and come close to a day of battery use).
 2- Because it's color e-ink (a bonus upon regular e-ink).
3- Because price will lower over time
4- Because it's portable and sleek,stylish and modern, and a new gadget, that gets you instant friends and hopefully instant girlfriend(s) (and for some can be a tool to get instant money,cars,houses, boats, and space ships too)
5- Because you look smarter owning an ebook reader, than reading from a laptop.
6- Because it reads PDF, the world's largest library next to .txt files (thus,easy to download and use, especially when having an SD card)
7- Because it can do so much more than just reading books
8- Because it has a resolution that can actually make A4/lettertype sized papers readable.
9- because you want to invest in a developing market (the more investors, the more likely that the product will increase in performance, and decrease in price).
10- Because there are 10 top reasons in a top 10, not 9!
means not the only one; there are cheaper and better devices out there doing the same thing |
Ok,
so the pessimist says to the optimist his glass is half empty.
Here's my view:
1- E-ink (no LCD, TFT, or plasma (or CRT) to carry around; e-ink is only getting smaller and lighter (screen is about 0.4mm thick soon))
2- Color (no other e-ink color device out there)
3- Price lower over time (There is currently no similar device out there that provides color e-ink, thus color e-ink can be priced at whatever price the manufacturer wants; the right of monopoly. I don't see it as a thumbs down to know the price is only going to drop over time?).
4- I got some gadget girlfriends who would not mind instant loving me for a jetbook Color! JBC brings you where no man has gone before!
5- Duh! E-ink is the coolest! No keyboard is the coolest!
6- Not all readers read PDF or have SD cards. Kindle DX does not have an SD card reader.
7- Most readers can just display books or show pictures. This one can play games, translation, calculator, audio, and in the future browser, and perhaps TTS (just missing an internal speaker).
8- An Absolute need, that is not provided by most tablets and netbooks (due to too low resolution).
9- Without investors,we'd still be developing the first computer,and live in the stone age
10- The only useless item of this jetbook.
If it provides an improvement on most similar products on the market
if it is a useless item.
