If you look for a rock-bottom low price for a new ebook reading device have a look at the eSlick reader from Foxit https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34276 , currently the pre-order price is $229 plus tax plus shipping |
While the Jetbook uses LCD it is not the same LCD as all the others you mentioned. It is a reflective display at high density 166 ppi and offers a good alternative to e-Ink. Reflective LCD is not backlit and cannot be and still be reflective.
