Curiosity. And I had read it will fit in a mans shirt pocket, which it does.
It's not a bad little gizmo, but is really limited in real use to .txt files. I was OK with this, but it sees virtually no use because the screen has a highly annoying glare when used in brighter lights....I use a gooseneck light behind my shoulder and I just can't handle the 'foil-like' glare. The background glare changes with mild rotation of the device and is very distracting when reading.
With eink devices there is no glare.
Jetbook is the only one of the many devices I probably shouldn't have bought. I've gotten my moneys worth out of all the others.
Like the Sony, it is a snap to find ones place in a book. The controls are virtually identical to the 505, except for the 10 page advance feature on the 505 which is a great help and is not on Jetbook. And it displays page numbers, always a useful aid.
