I guess my own personal bias. While I don't mind charging something every 2-3 days, I would mind changing batteries that often (even if they are rechargeable). Plus the cost of rechargeable batteries and a charger would negate most of the price difference.

But I have since read that unlike the Kindle, you are supposed to let the battery run low on the jetbook, so I see your point about running out of power being an issue

Thanks to everyone for their input.

One more thing I was thinking about - I use tags in Calibre to organize my Collections in the Sony Reader. It seems that the Jetbook uses the Windows folders. Does that mean I will need to reorganize my books on the computer before transferring books to the Jetbook?
