Honestly no I still like the kindle hands down even if I bought the jet book , I admit I was wrong e ink is the superior screen format for black and white text based e reading. Lcd is a power hog and harder to read than e ink and with a decent processor like the k2's and the quicker one in the k3 page turn and book loading performance is excellent and battery life is insane , with whisper mode off (except to download purchased books) I'm averaging 30 days between charges averaging 2 to 3 hours day of reading. I was lucky toward the end of my reading days with the libre if I could get 7 hours of reading so every 3 days or so I had to charge and the quality of build for libre (and the jetbook) is p*ss poor all three (returned two) that I purchase had problems with the usb charging port toward the end it would take about 5 minutes of jiggling the usb cable to ge my stupid libre to charge. The k2 and k3 I've had ZERO, I MEAN ZERO REcharge issues. And the E pub (actually and thing adobe) is a big steam dog poo i can tell you after buying 5 very screwed up e pub books I stop throwing away my money, where as every e book I purchased from amazon works and is readable (and sense mobi one of the oldest e book formats you can find lots of PD books to read for free or convert PG text files to mobi). So beside price that throw out the other advantage for the libre it does add up to get ether jet book or the libre. Save the 139.00 and get the kindle k3 wifi . I honest admit again I should have gotten the K2 six months ago and if you buying new compact e reader K3 is one of very best on the market .

P.S. I was going to give my best friend my libre but I don't want to make a enemy of him with this wonky beast Does anyone have bin laudens address ? I'll send this beast to him to give him the crazys LOL!
