Thanks to all in this community for being in hot persuit on these firmware issues. I think the Jetbook Lite is a great machine, perhaps with a chance for market dominance due to its price, its fast page transitions without the flash, and never having to worry about prying the unit open to replace a burned out Li-Ion battery. But all of it's imperfections are software/firmware issues, and I hope that communities like this keep Ectaco on the ball.

Everyone else in the industry went like lemmings down the Visiplex screen road, and I think this screen is way better, especially in reduced light. But I could surely appreciate a few more font choices, a little tighter line spacing, a better dictionary etc., and that additional functionality can only come with firmware updates.
