I guess what really matters is reading books and also having a simple device. I mean you have an iPod for music and a computer or TV for video, so why have all that in an ereader.

I am in to simple and basic, it is just the lure of features that makes me keep searching. LOL I like the fact that magnification is right on a button with the Jetbook, where as you have to go through a menu or a few button presses with the Kindle 3 my wife has. By the way Newegg has the JetBook on sale here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-010-_-Product

OK another update, I have a Jetbook Lite on the way from Newegg. This is my first ebook reader, so I hope I bought a good one.

People here seem to like it a lot and it was within what I could afford. Thanks for the help.
