I have a question about JetBook eReader support. Here is a list I have seen posted about eSlick support for eReader. I wonder how it compares to the support available from JetBook for this format.

These eReader features, standard on other platforms, are NOT supported on the eSlick:

* dictionary lookup
* highlighting
* annotating
* adding your own bookmarks
* seeing how many pages/screens are in the current chapter
* setting margin widths
* toggling justification on/off (mercifully, default is off)

Also missing: any way to change typeface (the only choice is Times Roman, or something similar; there is no sans-serif choice). There is no meta data displayed, only filenames.

Features that ARE supported:

* change font size
* portrait and landscape reading
* reading DRM
* hyperlinked TOC works.

Biggest single problem:

The implementation of eReader software on the eSlick does an terrible job of formatting text. Periods, commas, question marks, and other punctuation wrap on their own to the beginning of new lines. Thus a line may begin with punctuation that should have been on the previous line.

Has anyone done a review on eReader on the JetBook?
