I'm going to put together and do a review at some point, but I will say that so far, my experience with the Jetbook and PDFs is very good. I can zoom up to 6400% with PDFs with very little distortion. I've got in a comic book, and bus schedules, and they both act about the same although the font and text on the bus schedules is stupidly tiny even on a PC. But, I can rotate them, flip them and in other ways view them really easily.

On the other hand, and I will admit it may be my lack of use with the machine in PDFs, when I've put a new PDF into the machine, it doesn't seem to open easily, needs some time to load, and on a couple of occasions, didn't load at all. BUT, I will be honest and say it may have been the file at issue and NOT the Jetbook. I need to try more with it and see.


Also, I haven't done the upgrade yet so that I can view FB2 files. So I can't say much about those either. I also like the lack of "blip" between pages that I noticed with e-ink. I was thrilled to not have that.
