Yes, I too can confirm that the stylus for the Jetbook Color by Ectaco works with the M96*. I got one last week from the US website at
www.ectaco.com/JBC-stylus/
It cost me 20 USD total including shipping and arrived in 2 days.

And I must say, it works even better than the original that came with my device (from Arta Tech). Specifically, it:

has a softer touch (i.e., more give in the nib)
provides more reliable taps (I find I don't have to double tap as often)
feels less abrasive on the screen (I was always checking the tip of the original stylus for edges because when swiping, it often felt like I was scratching the screen)
is easier to see/find when you set it down (the original stylus was easy to loose on the couch since it was all black, but the Ectaco version us half silver so easier to see in the shadows)
is easier to keep hold of and not drop (probably due to the shape at the back end)

All in all, a good purchase. Now if I could just get decent firmware on the device ...

* Both eReaderStore and the new Onyx International USA indicate the M92 and M96 use the same stylus.
