Is the ECTACO jetBook-Lite supported.

I have very little idea what Im doing but I like the ECTACO jetBook-Lite and am likely to give it a try.

So I assume since the Jetbook is supported then the lite would be as well?

As far as I recall, the Jetbook driver in calibre only supports the jetbook not the jetbook lite, but see http://calibre-ebook.com/user_manual...pported-in-app

I have the Jetbook Lite, I'm using Calibre to convert to Epubs, and they look great on there so far!

When I have my JBL pluged in Calibre recognizes a "Reader" and "Card A".
So you have some communication to the device, that way. (But I prefer to
just create a structure on the SD card using Windows.)

The conversion is fine and I also like the epub formatting, they just look
fine on the JBL, better than the PDB if you ask me.

The "JetBook 5-inch (1.0.0) by Kovid Goyal" output profile plug-in seems
to be working fine, with the JBL, as far as I can tell.
(I select that for my epub conversions, I guess it is having some effect.)

The "Ectaco JetBook Device Interface (1.0.0) by James Ralston" device
interface plug-in lists the following: epub, mobi, prc, fb2, txt, rtf, pdf and
that is all, which is not an exact match with the JBL. I don't know what
impact that might have on the results, for the JBL, when that plug-in is used.

Luck;
Ken
