Are we still agreeing?

This is how I see Ectaco subjecting non-customers to shady practices.

I did not and do not mean to be confrontational either... but the suggestion that this is simply a case of "outdated information on a webpage in need of updating" doesn't seem credible.

Having said that, a morally questionable company (and aren't they all, by the way?) can as easily create a great product as a more scrupulous one. Or perhaps even more easily. So none of this has any bearing on JetBook's quality or worth.

Another shady practice is selling the Jetbook in a mainstream store without mentioning the fact that is does not handle any eBooks with DRM. This means that people who purchase it thinking they can read some of the latest NYT bestsellers, they will find they cannot the hard way. Bed, Bath & Beyond is not a shop techies shop for electronics. So most likely it will be Mom & Pop shoppers who see the Jetbook and think it might be a nice thing to have. Boy will they be wrong.
