I agree. The LCD on the jetbook is a reflective display and it reads just like e-ink. I used to have a "non-backlit" monochrome Palm PDA and it was a very nice ebook reader.
And one more thing I like about an e-ink device is the battery life. I personally don't mind the relatively slower refresh speed of the e-ink display since it's just a very brief blink, and I turn pages just every 30 seconds or so. And most of the page-turn waiting is due to the slow CPU of the reader rather than the display itself.
