I would really like to know how a company can afford to do that. Either they are selling at cost or selling it as a loss-leader (but competition for customers to buy a JBL I wouldn't imagine would be great enough to sell at a loss).
If only newegg shipped to Australia. |

A good ebook reader has finally hit the sub-$100 range!

It's tempting, actually. For a European buyer it's just 75 euro approximately.

Wow. I'm gonna buy one and maybe two of these for that price. My daughter and wife are both avid readers and now we can share books again.

I couldn't pass that up either. With all the rechargeable batteries and SD cards
I have stacking up, an extra JBL may come in handy. Luck; Ken |

hmmmmm I don't suppose anyone knows a way to get one of these to Canada without adding to much cost? It's 139.99 on newegg.ca which is still pretty decent but less is always better!

Hi, Can anyone help to confirm whether JBL can read the Chinese text file?
Thanks, cj2010 |

Before pulling the trigger ... Does anyone have an inkling of whether the Ectaco developers plan to add the ability to follow hyperlinks?

But at that pricepoint, is it a feature that you can overlook? |

I already have a Sony PRS-505. At this price, I was looking for a better Calibre magazine reader, one that would skip past uninteresting articles more quickly. Without the ability to follow links, the jetBook Lite would require sequential perusing, page by page, if I understand its capabilities correctly. |

I can't think of another way of getting JBL at that price unless you have relatives/friends in the US. |

function. (Although it's more of a pain for us who are not proficient with "Texting" using the phone like text entry of the JB's side buttons.) Luck; Ken |
