Again, I ask, how much time have you spent with a 5" dedicated reader? I will tell you right now, that the difference between reading on the Jetbook and the iPod Touch is dramatic. I can easily spend 2-3 hours at a stretch reading on the Jetbook and most of the time I barely notice the device. That was never the case with the iPod... though it was ok for reading stints of 30 minutes or so.
