I'm so fond of this device, that I'm contemplating on buying the jetbook mini!
But only if the price drops to the same $50 as I bought the regular jetbook!
The mini does not support many of the feats the jetbook supports, but would be excellent for reading text files, and perhaps epubs with title and text formatting.
The 90 hours battery life makes this ebook reader very intriguing, though the right price would be $50 for the mini!
Especially when you can get tablets and cellphones that can do so much more than this device, for the same price!
Can't wait for the holidays, and perhaps then 3 months past New Year, to buy a Jetbook Color, when the prices have dropped considerably!
499 is good for pre-order devices, but once newegg will stock these items, and buy them in bulk, I'll probably buy them from newegg!
I can see in the near future, the Jetbook Color dropping price by at least $100, and later down to $199 (at the exit from the market probably 3 years from now, as more advanced products hit the market), probably even on a good deal you'd be able to buy this for $120! The technology of this device really is not that expensive.
The initial cost of the device mainly is to pay for creating the manufacturing process and assembly lines. Once they are out of their cost (usually after selling 10k units), the price drops considerably.
