I did wind up ordering the Jetbook Lite from Fictionwise while all of the promotions were going on. Mine arrived Thursday with firmware 0.14i, but I updated to 0.14n last night and am a lot happier with the unit now that my secure eReader files actually resize font properly. I do have the same problem with missing lines at the bottom of some eReader file pages, but my Mobi/PRC, pdf (regular and password-protected), text, and RTF files all look great.
If Ectaco fixes the eReader cut off problem and adds support for DOC and secure ePUB/Adobe Digital Editions in the future, I will be a super happy camper. The bulk of my ebook library is in PDF and secure eReader format, and as a heavy Fictionwise buyer I don't care about OTA book delivery. Add all that to the under $80 price point of the Jetbook Lite after Micropay rebate and bam! I decided to give the JBL a chance. I'm very happy with it already--it's a nice no-frills unit that still does just about everything I need it to do without costing as much as a netbook computer.
