I think the main reasons are 1) not e-ink and 2) lack of DRM.

In my opinion:
1) This LCD technology is very comparable to e-ink screens. Some people like it better, and it is NOT like your computer's LCD screen as far as glare, etc.
2) I've lost books to DRM already and plan (like many here) to strip DRM from every book I purchase before using it.

But I know there are at least a few dozen users on this forum who use the jetBook. It doesn't have the marketing presence of Sony or Amazon, but it's a good device. Next week we get our own subforum!
