And with 2 sets of AA rechargeable batteries, you never have to wait for the unit to charge. The only thing the Lite lacks is the MP3 player, and I'll bet you already have a better one anyway. Besides that, the Lite cheaper, and the firmware upgrades are now coming out almost daily. I just installed M yesterday, and they released N today.

Yeah, I ordered the Lite and trying to be patient for it to arrive. What sold me to the Lite was it's user-replaceable batteries, being able to read non-stop and of course, the price. It was to my impression that one can't read on the regular Jetbook while it's charging but it seems this isn't true according to GARussell. But, oh well, Lite owners love theirs and I'm positive I will too.
