I will not feed the troll just above this post. I'll just leave these early reviews here:

Of those, the last two are definitely fixable by a firmware update, the speed might be tweakable a bit, and we're stuck with the screen. For a first generation of a brand new (to commercial devices) technology I think it's not bad at all.

LuBiB has a pretty good summary elsewhere of the menus, features, and so on, so I won't repeat his work.
But I will note that the software is not anywhere near being done. It doesn't have the annotation options I would have expected with a textbook platform. I also cannot find the web browser or a way to enable Wifi. (I don't think they work yet.)
And I can definitely say that as a textbook platform the iPad offers more options for the same price.

1)I know the Jetbook is twice the screen size but the Sony is so much faster; about twice as fast to turn pages.
2) The screen is grey almost a cement green like colour. The Sony screen is much lighter, so reading the Jetbbook is more like black text on grey/green compared to black on almost white. This makes reading in poor light a strain

Since reading is at present the only thing you can do with this device, It'd be enough
to see some pics under standard lighting of a JetBookColor just near a Kindle DXG or a Boox M92 or any other 9,7" with
Pearl display.
