What am I missing? I would love to start drooling!
Big-ass batteries.

The Ectaco jetBook gets 20+ hours of reading life using a reflective LCD that's not as energy efficient as an eInk display. It partially does it by using a battery almost 3 times the size of the one in my PDA.

They never promised you it would be light.
