I have ordered and expect my new Jetbook tomorrow. I have always used my PDA as an ereader so I'm really excited about the Jetbook. My question is: when I get the new Jetbook do I need to add the firmware right away? I would appreciate advice.

Yay, another jetBook user!

From where did you order the jetBook? I heard that some from NewEgg are coming out with the latest (today's) firmware. You can check the firmware version on the jetBook itself and then decide if you want to upgrade. Oldest jetBook firmware had only limited support, so you would probably want to make sure you have at least 30i to get ePUB, Mobi, etc.

Enjoy!

I got mine from NewEgg a few weeks ago and it has v0.30i Patch v12 which I think is the newest.

HTML support, better ePUB, and features yet to be discovered... (Ectaco doesn't give much info, but you might try the Beta firmware thread that has some details)

Hello, Everyone and Thanks for the information. I received the Jetbook yesterday and it has the v0.33c patch v13 on it so I looks like I don't need to do anything but start enjoying it.
