I stopped to post photo because it seems I have better light conditions. I think that's all with the ideas and opinions about this eReader. I (even with Lorenzo) have just spoken almost everything about the screen technology (color, readability with proper illumination etc) and firmware (what you can do and not) using my experience with LCD/LED and previous eink technology. I have my conclusion based on my experience and, for example Valentinka has hers.
But if we can do a summary I can say the crucial question is: did you like using Triton 9.7 screen in your environment?

Yes - (I have counted 8 users that actualy has an JBC) some love Triton rendering, some other considers it acceptable
No - (I counted 3 users that had a real JBC no occasional experinence)

When the answer is "No" user must get rid of JBC and will never buy another triton-based eReader (with the present technology).

When the answer is "Yes" user has got a bingo! It's true the firmware is not fully mature, but the potential are impressive! This is a fact not an opinion. The risk is if Ectaco will dismiss the JBC firmware before it can reach the full maturity and Ectaco won't release an open-SDK, JBC users would have only an half workable fantastic piece of hardware.

Edit: 8+3=11 users don't make a believable statistic, I'm sorry if my post seems say the opposite
