Regarding the jetBook+,

I looked at the manual for the Aluratek Libre Air (found on the website) and it DOES look good with the rounded corners. The page turn "slider" has been replaced by 2 buttons, and the new navigation pad is interesting. BUT -- the Libre Air also has a calendar/clock; this will probably make library e-books expire... I am assuming that the jetBook+ will also have a calendar/clock.

So the question is -- sleek look with a clock? or boxy corners with unlimited time?

(On a different note -- we picked up a Libre Pro for my husband this week, and we are comparing our ereaders to decide which one to get for the kids.)
