I'm the guy that is miffed because jetBook claims dictionary support but only has it for two out of six or more compatible files. I'm the guy who is waiting patiently for a response from Ectaco for a response to my post in their forum. It's me that started a thread about the goofy jetBook LED that blinks at will. I sarcastically slammed their big bust ad as tasteless, and made fun of their cheezy background music and preloaded NY drivers manual.

My jetBook needs one or two resets daily, and I just had to use my Leatherman tool to do it because I am in a cheap motel without a paper clip. But the screen, the reading experience, in lamp light, twilight, or sunlight (sunlight may be a toss-up) is an immense improvement over the Kindle, and I suppose your Sony, as they use the same e-ink screen.

I'm trying my best to give my honest opinion and observations about the jetBook and Kindle. What are you doing?
I really wish there was a central location to find Jetbook threads.I've had my Jetbook for one week and love it but would like to know where did my dictionary go and what is the driving force behind the power LED.I also downloaded some sample books in mobi from Smashwords and got a strange compression warning when I opened them on Jetbook.It's a great device with a beautiful screen and lots of xtras but I would really like to click on one Jetbook heading and get questions answered.Thanks to everyone for all the tips I'm able to pick up.
