Just two formats is a little weak, and that does seem to be what the specs and video imply. I do like the fb2 format a lot though but the calibre conversion to it is a little weak. Txt as a format just sucks.

On the plus side I like it the design. More hardware manufacturers need to design e-readers like tools (as mentioned earlier in the thread) and not like fashion accessories. Now they need one that has a larger screen and an even larger battery hump. Pile in 6 or 8 double AA's and give us a hump to be proud of along with a lot of juice to use.

Even with the limited format support I think I will be getting one of these as they become available. I like the design, like others it reminds me of the ebookwise that I still have and use and I love the ergonomics of the thing. It is aging though and getting a little twitchy.

With future firmware releases for the JB Mini I would expect to see more formats supported and I would think that we would see at least one DRM infested format supported.
