But I can tell you that I have noticed that jetBook owners have expressed much more enthusiasm for it than 300 owners have for their device.

Perhaps because the 300 owners are busier reading books on their devices?

Seriously, I haven't used a Jetbook but the 300 is a fine option imo. I don't think the 'limitations' mentioned above are truly such. I now have about 200 novels in my 300 (in pdf/lrf/lrx/epub formats), and am using less than 1/3 of the internal memory. This is probably a years' worth of reading, with plenty of room to spare, and a huge variety of books. So I do not see the lack of a memory slot as a 'limitation.'
The 300 e-ink screen is great. Haven't seen a jetbook to compare. The approx. 3 weeks battery life is also great--just spent 2 weeks in Fla. and didn't need to bring a charger. I like the form factor of the 300 too (having used a 500 and 505 for over 2 years). It fits nicely in my pants pocket, and is still very comfortable for being absorbed into book after book after book....
Many folks do seem to love their Jetbooks, so I don;'t think you'll go wrong either way. ANd the 5" screen is a fine form factor.
