New to e-readers

CJay · 12-22-2009, 11:42 PM

Hello All,

I'm new to e-readers, but after doing some research on the forum I decided on the jetbook lite.

Are there any particular quirks to the reader I should be aware of, or any other tips you can give me that will make make my first e-reader experience easier?

Can't wait to get reading. Manybooks, Baen, and Gutenburg here I come!

Thanks,
CJay

CJay enjoy the trip, best buckle up, it can be quite a ride.

As to quirks, if you have a SD card, it may be faster to load with a SD card reader than via the Jetbook. I think I saw that the Jetbook USB is 1.1 not the faster USB 2.

I just ordered a pair of SDHC USB card readers. SD card goes in one end, other end is a usb plug. Should speed up transfer time considerably.
