I guess you bought the jetBook in expectation of unlimited on-demand free books?  |
Firstly, I did not buy the book, it was a gift. The person who gave it to me did a pretty fair amount of research, including communicating with one of the jetBook customer service people on more than one occasion who insisted that I would have no trouble finding any ebook I wanted free and in a format to work with the jetBook. Although neither of us was an expert on ereaders prior we assumed their customer service department would be giving out truthful info. On their website it says,
"Can't find the book you want? Let us find it for you! All you need to do is enter the title of the book you want and your email address, then sit back and let us do the rest!" If this information, both online and verbally, is incorrect due to "small language issues" then they should consider the countries that they are selling in (and collecting money) so that they are not continuously giving wrong info. Maybe they should also consider the false advetising laws in the countries in which they sell (which I'm sure could be translated into any language they prefer).
Lastly, the jetBook was not purchased with the "expectation of unlimited on-demand free books" as you assume (with quite a condescending attitude), but they were not able to provide me with the location of a single ebook that I had requested (free or not)!
