I would love to see a forum dedicated to the Jetbook.I owned an EZ Reader for 5 days and have just returned it to Fry's for a black Jetbook,and I love it!
I have no major problems using it but in trying to find answers to small questions I've bounced all over this forum,a central location would be great.I don't post often but this Jetbook has me revved up.Thanks to everyone at this forum,it's a great place. |

1-Very few extra options 2-Bookmarks did not work with anything other than PDF 3-Buttons were non-responsive sometimes 4-Page flashing gave me a headache 5-It just felt kind of cheap I've owned an EBookwise 1150 in the past(it died)bought books from Fictionwise for my Palm TX and I'm sick to death of DRM,the Jetbook works and looks great and sets me free from DRM.The recent format additions are what cinched it since I read mobi/prc most of the time,for books that aren't available without DRM there's still the Public Library |

The big problem that many people think that ink screen is the best that available on the market and they have no idea about TFT screen. I know several people and read reviews from people who has both - ink screen devices (with flashing) and jetBook with TFT screen and almost all of them like TFT screen more. TFT screen without flashing was one of the main reason why I purchased jetBook. |

Yes Please, I'd like a jetBook forum.
BTW, I've been using deDRMed Mobi files, and I tried one ePub file and I'm finding the the TOCs don't work. They are there, usually at the end of the book, but there are no links. Is this a known issue, and is it being worked? Or am I going to have to live with it? It's not a deal killer as the text search works, but ... Is that why the World Fact Book has a gazillion files, one for each country? Because the jetBook doesn't support links? |

As I see it, lack of hyperlink support is a MAJOR deficincy. Nealy as large as lack of DRM support. Fortunaly there are work arounds for both problems. |

On a related note, can you upload a copy of that Epub version of the WFB? I'd like to see it. |

The preloaded WFB on the jetBook consists of 260 FB2 files.

This thread has gotten way off topic from the subject of a Jetbook forum. Can we stay on topic here?
