[QUOTE=ScalyFreak;1914775]Ah, that makes sense. Though now I'm a bit curious about why Calibre thinks I have a Jetbook, since I assumed it looks at the firmware of the device...
Not that it matters, as long as it works.

I know this thread started a few weeks back but I just got here... B)
To start off, regarding your question above, from what I was able to read online the Jetbook is the same device as far as hardware goes but the software on the Jetbook is better at displaying foreign language characters while the Libre can read more eBook Formats. So they claim...
I got a Libre Pro during the boxing day sales and have been getting used to it. I didn't want to spend too much on my first eReader and this one went on sale for $49.99 so I figured it was a good time to take the plunge. Noone will argue that the display in the Libre is as flashy as that on some of the other eReaders but what I have discovered is that as a READER it is far easier to live with than some of the other big names. A friend bought a Kobo Touch at the same time and half the time is wishing she'd gotten the Aluratek instead regardless of price difference. The cheap little Aluratek seems to read more formats and behaves better in general with most eBook formats. Plus it comes with the carry case and wall charger which most others don't and it will work in Canadian Libraries, which a Kindle won't. The super low price models don't include an SD card but I had a spare 8 gig so that was fine, and later decided that my spare 2 gig was big enough to hold a sufficient collection of books and music. Overall I couldn't be more pleased with it.
