JSWolf doesn't like jetBook but He never tested it so I can recommend
JSWolf visit the nearest BB&B store to test the unit, see the screen, interface etc and after it submit his opinion. I guess He will like jetBook too
I could see the Jetbook and decide I like it. But I can strip away DRM and be able to read what I want. The problem I have is that selling it in a place like BB&B without such as a mention of it's lack of DRM is going to be an issue. People may see it and decide they like it, get it home, try to purchase something to use with it and not be able to to or end up with an eBook that they cannot read with it. So basically, Etaco's lack of being up-front is going to hurt them in the long run. People who end up with a bad experience will tell others. Word of mouth on a bad experience travels better then good experiences.

Plus, on their website they say you can request books and they will get them for you. Go ahead and request a book that's only available for purchase with DRM and see how far it gets. That could also cause problems as it may lead others to think that once they purchase it, the books will be free.
