Concerning the point size,
It seems rather silly to me to even add pointsize 36 and 40 to a reading device, since you'll only get a few words on the screen at any given time!
pt 14 IS the sweet spot for me,so why keep it out?
At times it may be nice to have a pt smaller. The smallest it should display text is pt 10 or pt 9. I wish they would have incorporated these font sizes too, because the display can display it, and for people with good eyes, having more words per screen is a plus!

If you ask me, having 7 or even 5 pt sizes is rather useless, since most people will be using only upto 3 fontsizes anyway!
The Astak Reader Pro has a real e-ink screen (also 5") and smallest font size is around 8pt, and still readable, but it's screen is 800x600 instead of 640x480 like on the jetbook.
