The jetBook really needs a better home on the forum. At present, even though it is a dedicated e-book reader, it is probably under portable devices -> other devices. However, this isn't working. Of the 36 threads with jetbook in the title, only one is in portable devices. At least half would be in a jetBook forum if there was one. Also, a search for jetbook returns 159 threads. Not all of these should be in a jetBook forum, but there do seem to be enough relevant threads. Note that a readius search returns 24 threads and starebook returns 129 threads. Either a jetBook forum or an Other forum under E-Book Devices that includes jetBook, STAReBOOK and Readius subforums would make sense to me. The advantage of an Other forum is that it provides a place holder for new devices, such as the Foxit eSlick. However, the jetBook may have outgrown the Other category.
