I'm so glad that you like your Jetbook. It would be very sad to spend money on a reader and then find that you didn't like it.

Someone posted a message a week or so ago saying that the Jetbook was being updated to support books encoded with ePub, Mobipocket, PRC and RTF formats. So, I wandered over to my local Fry's electronics store to check it out. Other than the fact that you can't buy any current-release books for the Jetbook (because it doesn't support DRM and the stores/publishers insist on using it), it looks like a nice device. I'm such a gadget junkie that I had to really work hard to keep my credit card in my purse!

Congratulations for your choice. And, if you're not intimidated by the utilities that allow you to do format shifting, you can probably purchase any book you want for your Jetbook.

Thanks for sharing your experiences.
