Vacation

Two weeks on the beach! [Dominican Republic]

JetBook worked great! My wife got tired holding her heavier Kindle on the beach, but the lighter jetBook was great!

Both readers, however, were better than paperbacks in the light wind. Saw others struggling with fluttering pages.

Tragedy! Knocked jetBook off arm of chair onto tile floor while reaching for beer, and screen broke !! Wouldn't have happened to a paperback, so there is a trade off.

Was able to transfer text files to wife's Kindle and keep reading, when she would let me.

Ordered new one from newegg and got silicone cover too. May get second jetBook, as back up, before next trip.
