Most JBL owners consider its reflective TFT screen to be far superior than the eInk vizplex screen. However, word is that the new eInk pearl screen is almost as good.
It currently sells for $99.99 at Newegg and elsewhere. It has been on sale once in the past for $69.99.
If you can wait till Thanksgiving weekend, you will be sure to find some great deals on eBook readers.

Apprently, NewEgg is discontinuing the JetBook Lites. They only have the Mickey Mouse book covers and the Burgandy JBL in stock. They do not even show the other colors as being stocked anymore. The only way to get one from Amazon now is through a secondary vendor (I just got one from them to serve as a back up unit). It appears the JBL is going to be replaced by the JetBook Mini which is a pity since the JBL is so much better than the Mini.
Other than that, I also feel the JBL is a great reader. I don't like the reflective LCD as well as an e-ink screen but the ability to swap batteries in the field and the way it handles images is superior to anything else I've seen, qualities that are essential for me.
