After giving it some thought, I decided that I don't want to buy a relationship with anybody. I just want to buy some books.

So I have been looking elsewhere for an eBook reader.

From reading the many threads and testimonials here for the past three months, I have concluded that if price is important, the best choice is the jetBook or the jetBook Lite. But if performance (such as the firmware) is most important, it looks like the Pocketbook is the best choice.
But don't you want a relationship with whomever you buy the device from, should you need assistance?

I would put customer service above price of books.

Luckily, Amazon excels on both accounts.
