Ectaco JetBook - $199 from Newegg.com
Newegg has the black Jet book on sale today for $100 the regular retail. If you've never heard of this device before, you should look at the review.

If you want my opinion, I think this is an excellent reader for the price. The device hardware quality is good, and the latest firmware update added a real ebook format. There are several people here who are very happy with it.
The Jetbook isn't for everyone, but it's still worth consideration. |

Pitty it does not have an e-ink screen for the price!
They go on ebay way lower than 199 all the time! |

I understand, however looks are important to me!
*Edit: It is a very nice device indeed! And would have been even nicer with an e-ink screen. to me the looks are better than the bebook and Cybook, appart from the screen. Also with an e-ink screen I'm sure the battery would last even longer too!* Last edited by ProDigit; 11-27-2008 at 09:32 PM. |

To me, the 5" screen is just too small. I think 6" is the low end sizewise for a good eBook reader.

The company needs to update its webpage, because their comparison chart lists the Sony 500.
