If you haven't acquired a backup JB or JBL, you might want to before the
existing supply dries up.

I read on their site forum quite a while ago that they were discontinued and were just selling off excess stock...
That said I decided to take advantage of the newegg price, c. $57 and pick up the original and a lite given that I used my old Palm IIIx for a VERY long time to read, and used a Franklin ebookman(one w/backlight forget the model designation #) for some time as well.
Expect them to show up tomorrow some time. Get to compare to what I remember of my REB-1100(LCD), PRS-505, Kobo Wifi and touch(crap fw), Nook simple touch, and recently a Kindle paper white(has some problems with sideloading much like the kobos did, but none of the other more irritating problems).
Looking forward to trying out these puppies. Probably go with the original first as it's the more perishable one with a rechargeable batt. Might buy another pair if I like them...
