thanks for the Picture. that Jetbook does look pretty good and tiny, i would love to actually hold one for a few days.
i read 8000 pages on my PRS 500
i read 10000 pages on my Kindle when i had it
and aive Read 3000 Pages on my PRS 700 so far (print lenth pages, probably double-quadruple all thse for actual page turns on the device)
the Kindle was easier to read than the 500,
but for me, the 700 and the kindle are just as readable in the same lighting conditions. but as it gets darker, the 700 is a joy, i can keep the font small and just hit the light on.
Ive read the 700 in the Sun (finally had a warm last two days.. was in the 30s the last 2 weeks since ive had it) suprisingly the glare is gone in the sun totally (except for the glare from the actual sun if you hit just the right angle.. which makes it un readable. but the same held true for the kindle too)
I love my 700.
as for the light affecing battery life. If i have to use the light that day, i will charge it that night. no light, no charge. many days i dont need the light. some i do. I bring it everywhere with me... this was the main problem with the kindle.. it was so darned big i couldnt fit it in my pocket, the 500 and the 700 fit in perfectly..
