I just picked up the Jetbook at a BB&B in Fremont California. Of the zillions of BB&B in the SF bay area this is the only one which carries the devices. I actually had to tell them they had it, and they brought one out from the back with the demo model also.

I also have a Sony 500 Reader and the Jetbook is much faster changing pages and accessing menus. It also has a great zoom feature and allows changing from portrait view to landscape with a tap of a button on the front of the device. The print is much clearer than the Sony and the page find and word search is very simple to use. By the way I paid $200.00 with the 20% off coupon and the software is the up-to-date version.

I don't like Fry's so I did not bother with them even though there is one in Fremont!
