ok first impressions, i just got this today, not a bad wait considering it was blackfriday/cybermonday and it was 40% off, ok to me it's great.

the readable area is the size of my ipod touch which is what i'm comparing this to, and it's a big improvement, it's like going from a 15in monitor to a 22in monitor, yea thats how big it seems.

this thing is light too i can hold it in one hand and read comfortably, ok the screen quality? of course it sucks compared to the touch, but you know what? my 22in monitor sucks compared to the touch, the touch is probably the most beautiful mobile screen around, i have a psp and a ds as well, i want to play really crappy games on the touch cuz it just looks that much better than both of these gameboy things(they really are my gf's stuff i bought for her).

the transfer? it was so easy omg, it was easier than the touch, cuz the touch has that stupid connect to wifi, no media slot thing, i just fired up a micro sd card( i have like 4 empty 2g ones laying around and various ones in cell phones, these things are CHEAP!) i dropped in 200mbs worth of work/technical/college docs , seperated into different folders (this took a few seconds) then i put it in the sd card adapter popped it in the jetbook and it reads it flawlessly, ok opening up a book takes 5seconds i guess(i see the hourglass timer) big deal, even my touch that is supposedly more powerful than the psp takes 5s to open up any app.

ok back to the quality, it's nice it's big it's convienient and it's perfect for my puposes, i can xfer pdf's with no stupid converting software or in between process in my way, i just want a simply A to B, from my computer to the reader and this does it. Again the screen looks ancient!!! i mean this brings me back to my palm III days, it brings me back to my psion days it looks like a 1999 pda screen lol, actually it looks a tad bit worse since i haven't read the manual and can't adjust the contrast, well let me read it fast and see... ok i just read the manual, no contrast adjustment i guess thats the whole, eink thing anyway(even tho this is a tft or whatever i dont' care) it has zoom it has fit to width, it's great and it has landscape mode, wow, just like my touch, it's like here it is.

if i'm out and in the mall , the touch is there cool! if i'm home i downgrade to using this thing but i get such a bigger screen it's worth it.

oh why did i decide to get this,? i saw a thread and the jetbook company compares the sony prs and kindle, and while i didn't really care for the comparision, it did make one thing clear, the screen sizes on all of them are almost the same, yea the sony got an extra inch... but again ppl have stated over and over pdf this pdf that... well i can say right away for the super pdf that this offers, nothing can beat it.

if you want more of a new review i can , i mean this thing has a lot of worthless mp3/dictionary crap that i'll never use, but i was able to read a 35page doc relatively easily on the couch.

So for ppl who have my same exact requirements of a great pdf reader that won't cost 1000$ like the rex, and knew that frys is a reputable company, and knew that deals for black friday were coming and wanted to save 40% and got this, we'll i lucked out, until this thing breaks i'm happy, heck they even included a mini usb to ac adapter for me, wow i'll never use it but heck it might be great for a cell phone or something.
