My overall impression was very positive for the hardware. I was very surprised how it stood up against the e-ink display. The most important and critical advantage it has over the Sony's is the page refresh (turn) speed. I would buy the Jetbook in a minute if it had better support for other, established formats such as eReader or Mobipocket. As it is, it's really limited to just .txt files, so I will have to pass.
If you play around with the options, (I can't remember specifically how) you can change the fonts. I hear you about the .txt files... but since when I convert books from other sources, I tend to convert to jetbook sized pdfs.. so I put the font I want in the pdf.. it works great .
