There are a few drawbacks to the Jetbook...

First is that it's a 5" screen as opposed to the 505's 6" screen. Then there is the screen itself. The Jetbook screen takes power to keep the screen showing yo the text. The 505's screen only takes power to change what is on the screen.

Now we get to the firmware. It has already been shown that the 505 can render complex ePub that causes the Jetbook to fail. Also, the Jetbook supports no DRM at all. So if you want ot read most current eBooks, you'll need to strip off the DRM. If you currently cannot strip DRM, then most current eBook titles will not be available to you.

As to the flash when you turn the page on an eink screen, you will find that the more you use it, the more you'll not really notice it. I've been using an eink screen for a little over 2 years now and I do not notice the flash on page turns.

Because of issues in the firmware of the Jetbook, I'd say you are better off with a more mature product that has a decent firmware.

Now we come to the company Ectaco.. they are very good as giving out incorrect/wrong information to the point of actually lying. They have a form on their website for you to request eBooks. They make it seem like you can get ANY book for free just by requesting from them. Either they are lying to you or they are pirating eBooks if you were to request say Harry Potter and actually get it. Then there is the comparison chart they have that compares the 505 & K1 to the Jetbook ans a lot of the information about the 505 and K1 is just plain wrong and what isn't wrong is mostly misleading. And they don't say on their website that the Jetbook does not support DRM. And now they have it selling in Bed, Bath & beyond which is a mainstream shop. The problem is that because it has no DRM support and Ectaco won't say this, people will and have purchased the Jetbook only to end up having to return it due to not being able to read what they want because what they want has DRM and the Jetbook has no DRM support. This is misleading big time.
