That's a great price for the Ectaco. I've noticed that Ectaco and Aluratek make very similar looking readers (but with different firmware). The Ectaco Jetbook is the same as the Aluratek Libre Pro; the Jetbook Lite is the same as the Libre and Jetbook but without Audio and runs on 4"" batteries. And the new Ectaco Jetbook is identical to the Aluratek Libre Air. They are all made by the Chinese company JINPO.

Pricewise, however, the Libre does cost considerably less.

I have the Aluratek Libre Pro and was looking to buy the Jetbook as an additional reader,but would like to ask those who own the jetbook, about where could I buy books for the Jetbook? Specifically, the Libre Pro is compataibile with books from Kobo, Sony, Borders, and library books with Overdrive, but not with Barnes and Noble due to their DRM. But I know Ectaco uses Barnes and Noble's DRM, but can the Jetbook accept books from Overdrive and from the Kobo, Sony, and Borders online bookstores? Thanks everyone.
