Eventhough the jetbook has an LCD screen it is very easy on your eyes. The device has good navigation and I really like the 10 buttons on the right side (like the sony 505) which makes navigation much faster. This "ATM machine like" setup is ideal for a non-touch screen device. The reason I did not purchase this device is because I like to underline and take notes when I read. Eventhough the jetbook has potential to write notes with a firmware upgrade --- currently you can only apply the T9 input to dictionary searches. Also the cursor response is very slow when trying to use the built in dictionary function. If you want to look up a word at the bottom of a page it takes forever for the cursor to get there. If you are just pleasure reading its a great device. The more open format capability is a very big positive over the sony.
