Mbipocket Creator and Convert Doc are Windows only I believe.

Calibre, even though it does not claim support for the jetBook, just put out a very nice conversion from pdf to epub for me. I had one small glitch. It didn't give me the cover image from the pdf, and when I tried to add one that's ALL I would get, a one page file with a cover and no book to read. This could be my fault as I just did a quick conversion, not playing with anything since I am unfamiliar. But the resulting file looks just great on the jetBook. Using align left, I can forgive jetBook for not having a margin on that side, as the screen is smallish to begin with.

I tried to output a mobi file from the pdf using calibre, but once loaded on the jetBook (not in calibre's viewer), every quote mark and apostrophe came out something like 壙. So epub it is, and I am very pleased.

I've had a few issues today, a few resets required, weird invisible files (Mac issue) on my SD card, but nothing a beginner like myself couldn't deal with.

I must say again, now that it is nighttime and I am reading by lamp, the jetBook print is much blacker than the Kindle. Side by side, I find the jetBook much easier to read in lamp light, as I did this afernoon. I have not tried the jetBook outdoors yet. This is a surprise to me, after all the talk of e-ink. Almost instant page turns too. The Kindle looks, no joke here, washed out and faded next to it. I paid almost exactly the same for both, and that's my honest take.

A small thing, but I wish the slider (and the page turn buttons on the left bottom)on the left of the Jetbook were non metallic, or rather non reflective. Just like with the Kindle, you angle the jetBook so your lamp doesn't reflect in the screen, but with the jetBook, at just that spot it causes a bit of a reflection in the slider. Angle it more and you loose screen brightness in relation to the lamp.
