My, this is an active thread.
Anyway, I guess I'm fine with BB&B selling eBook readers. The more, the merrier. People that are unhappy with them, DRM or otherwise, will return them, that's normal business operations, I'm not going to lose any sleep over that.
I do notice that the claim of more formats supported is still up:
http://www.jetbook.net/
I figure that's mostly marketing, anyway. According to Google, DRM shows up only once on the whole jetbook web-site, so I think that could be clearer, also.
But that all said, the unit is small enough, cheap enough, and stays up long enough (20+ hours), that I would suggest it's a reasonable choice for some users. There is no perfect eBook reader out there, they're all trade-offs, so if someone opts for a Jetbook, seems like a reasonable choice for them to make. Some people are kind of pledged to only buy DRM-less eBooks, anyway, I guess I understand the thinking there. And every time I say "Screen looks small" when looking at a Sony or Kindle, only to be told it needs to be small to fit in a pocket, well Jetbook comes along and is smaller still.
