I certainly can't read your mind, but from the sum total of your postings about the jetBook and Ectaco, you come across as very biased against a device that you don't own and have probably never seen.

The reason I am saying 6" screen is because I don't want anything with a smaller screen. And I know there are eink devices coming out with a 5" screen just so you know it's not a bias against the Jetbook in terms of size.
As for the Jetbook, the problem with it isn't the Jetbook itself, but Etaco. It's the way Etaco seriously misrepresents the Jetbook. They give a comparison of the 500 or 505 (they get things mixed up there big time) and the K1 and get a lot of thing absolutely wrong. And then there is their request a book form on the website that says that can get any book you request for free. Also, there isn't much if any mention of no DRM support on the website. And lastly is for selling the Jetbook in BB&B where a lot of people shop who know nothing of DRM and might see the Jetbook and buy one and then not be able to do much with it because the books they want to read only come with DRM. Etaco needs to clean up it's act and get the facts out to the public in a way that's honest and truthful.
