It was a little bulky; about like reading a hardback book. The killer was battery life reading was 3-4 hours. I basically ended up reading with the thing plugged in most of the time. Battery life has been always a factor in every reader device I have bought since then. The jetBook is rated at 20-24 hours. That usually lasts me a week of reading, which is about the minimum battery life for a reader IMHO.

The times when I manage to read hours after each other can be counted on one hand. 3-4 hours is enough for me.
