OK after a few hours reading the book reader I have found that the bigger 7" screen is giveing me trouble in that it is easy to lost place where you are reading if my eye are distracted for some reason. The 7" screen has about 3 times more print on it and I am finding that the smaller 5" screen much easer to keep up with.

I also am finding that the white background is hard on my eyes after a few hours and the jbl greenish screen dont bother me in any way after many hours of reading.

I find that the book reader weighs 12 ounces where as the jbl weighs 9 ounces. Thats only a 3 ounce difference but it seems much more after a few hours. Also and a real big also The battery compartment is so handy to hold on to that when I use the book reader I truly miss the batt compartment on the jbl.

Now please keep in mind I am new to this e book thing and have been useing a palm tungsten t3 for years. The jbl was my first true e book reader so I am expermaninting it seems with different readers. so to summ up I think I am going to keep the jbl and bring back the book reader to K-MART tomorrow.

All I seem to know for sure about is that for the last 3 days I have been reading the jbl for hours at a time every day and liked it. Of course when something new gets in my hands I like it at first then seem to see what I dont like about it. So I am sorry if I mislead anyone.
