My Ectaco jetBook Lite (JBL) has "really good ergonomics". The battery bump
on the back forms a perfect griping point and the resulting finger placement
can easily engage the controls.
The JBL uses the file structure of the media format FAT32 works fine on my
SD card with 6,670 Files in 49 Folders. The JBL works fine up to three layers
deep in example folder: Fantasy > subfolder: Author >subfolder: Series
Not sure what you mean by your third item. If you are talking about WiFi or
3/4G, then I think those power eating features are just a distraction, on a
dedicated ereading device. The features you want with that would be things
that are implemented on the site not the device.
