The LCD screen of the jetbook is just as readable as the eInk IMNSHO. The nice thing the LCD gives you also is it is much faster than eink. So, the menus, navigation, dictionary lookup is all very fast. Also, I would think LCD screens are cheaper to manufacture... so I'm surprised the Jetbook is $349 with a 5inch screen. The jetbook would be an awesome device with a 9-10inch screen.
