I know the Jetbook well from FRY's Electronics. They tell me some about the unrush of returns on that model.

What I cannot figure out is WHY people rave about a device with an LCD screen that has 8 formats and sells for $259 (what they quoted in the thread) when the EZ Reader Bundle Pack is often selling for $229, has E-Ink, comes with free leather case and a free 2GB SD card and card reader/writer, and does 14 formats. I did NOT post on that thread; but it is VERY hard to hold back.
If you don't know the difference between LCD used by calculator and jetBook TFT screen this thread about jetBook screen will be helpful:

The information about price is wrong too. jetBook is available for $169-$199
