jgray - Bravo, well-done!
I'm certain that your public comments and communication with their support team did "nudge" Ectaco to decide to upgrade their firmware to include new formats. Hopefully, HTML-support will be one of the FBReader upgrade features.
I appreciate your efforts that help in creating a richer jetBook experience. To be brutally honest, I figured that I'd have to give up features in exchange for a saving money on the reader price and proprietary bookstore costs.
In this economic climate I made much of my purchase decision based on initial and ongoing cost estimates between the name brands of readers and ebook acquisition options. Salaries in Greece are pretty pitiful in general, and teaching is not a high-income profession to begin with! In addition, even purchasing ebooks using a credit card with a European address is becoming difficult.
Between having all of the accessories included, instant start-up time, wonderful screen, instant page-turns, dictionary support, and now seeing that firmware improvements to support additional ebook formats are coming at a quick rate - it is very gratifying (boy, I sure do make good decisions when I research things!)
And again, much of my pleasure in the jetBook is due to jgray, Kris777 and others who have helped me reduce the "learning curve" to about zero-time - thank you!
