On the topic of DRM, I find it interesting that the Jetbook website doesn't mention that it only reads non-DRM eBooks. I find this vaguely misleading, especially as they are presenting it to the general public in BBB. Of course they say that their titles are free, so perhaps that would be a hint.
Quote:
Number of titles
Unlimited. 30 popular WEB sites that we have located hold at least 500,000 FREE access books and audiobooks. You can also request a title from us which we will find and send to you right away.

Cost of titles
FREE. Ask us what you need and we will run Internet search for you FREE
I wonder what they will say when someone calls and asks for "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer. I'm assuming it will still be a free Internet search, but I hope it won't result in a free eBook.

Edit: Yes, I know I'm over simplifying and there are multiformat eBooks to be had at Fictionwise. However, I'm not sure how many people are going to understand about DRM limitations before they pick up their new Jetbook with the 20% off coupon.
