Owning a Jetbook Color 1, I can say that it's not a very good device for long reading.
It's way too heavy to comfortably hold for longer than 10 minutes.
Leaning on my belly when resting on the couch, makes it hard to read the bottom of the book, as my eyes feel strained trying to roll them down that much.
My eyes focus on a jetbook on my belly, from the top to the center. Below the center, they just feel strained to look lower...
So, no...
A Jetbook-like device needs to lose at least half of it's weight to be comfortable enough to read for longer periods of time.
It can be done when the metal housing is replaced by plastic,
The glass substrate screen replaced by a plastic one,
And the internal speakers (which sound very good for a tablet!), removed.
