Hi, All,
I have broken the screen on my Jetbook whilst on holiday
. I have become completely addicted to ebook reading, and urgently need a replacement.
The things I really liked about the Jetbook were its size (easy to fit in the side pocket of a pair of cargo-trousers); the full-size SD-card slot; the speed of page-turning (I hated the lag when the html file was too big); and the length of time between battery charges (five or six days depending on use).
What irritated a bit was that none of the buttons fell easily to hand (I have big hands) and that there were only two positions for them (slider at the left or at the top, depending on the rotation).
I have no need for a colour screen, but page turns must be close to instantaneous (so does this rule out e-ink?) and the device does not need to be new (I'm quite happy to buy second-hand again). I'm happy to root a device if it would make it fit my requirements.
All my ebooks are .epub file (converted where necessary via Calibre), so I'm not particularly bothered about formats supported (side question - should I be?)
I don't know if such a thing exists but, if it does, the ability to edit files when I find typos etc would be a great advantage (I spend as much time editing files in Sigil as I do reading!)
So, the big question - should I try to find another JB, or is there something else that fits the bill?
Thanks for your time.
Jeremy
