I'm thinking of buying a Jetbook Lite and am 95% sure I can load txt files with the reader being recognized as an external disk, but Ectaco's website says the unit is fully compatible with Windows and Mac- no mention of Linux (Ubuntu).
Is anyone using their's with Linux?

What would be the implied incompatibility with Linux- firmware updates?

Also, every picture I've seen of this unit shows text with no margins. Can margins be set with plain txt? Any help from an owner who uses his/hers with Linux would be appreciated.
