I did see over at the Jetbook forum that new firmware is promised that will add dictionary support for epub and mobi. The dictionary is a big plus for me.

I have a Sony PRS505 and a jetBook. The only time I've turned the Sony on was when I first got the jetBook and was comparing the screens. The jetBook 5" LCD is at least as easy to read as the Sony's 6" EInk screen.
I don't really see any difference between Mobi and ePub files, both work equally as well.
I like the fact that the jetBook REALLY does fit in my trousers pocket, and the support for hierarchical file folder structure is WONDERFUL. All readers should have that.
The down side is that the jetBook doesn't seem to support hyperlinks, so TOCs don't work, and if you don't have the ability to strip DRM, lack of DRM support would be a deal breaker.
