I completely agree with you. I had earlier already commented about the high prices for the Libre and Jetbook hardware but other folks commented about how the ability to read multiple formats justified the price. Well not anymore. With other readers all having wifi and some with touch screens I think it is hard to push this hardware at this point. The only advantage to JBL has it the fact it uses batteries and both of them have no calendar so you can keep your library books indefinitely. If it were not for these I would not have bought another Libre. In fact, its hard to find the regular jetbook anymore since they still seem to want $130 for it.
