I bought my JBL during the Fictionwise large transaction bonus sale for Buywise members last month, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. I really wanted a reader that could support Secure eReader books and PDFs since those types of files make up the bulk of my ebook library, and I didn't want to pay $269 for a Nook. The Micropay bonuses that came with the JetBook Lite and Foxit's eSlick readers through Fictionwise were another draw for me.
Yes, the missing words between pages on PDB files are annoying, but not so much that I can't still enjoy the book. I'm confident that the problem will be addressed soon in a new firmware update. ePUB, Mobi, txt, and RTF files read just fine, and my big collection of workout manuals, recipes, craft patterns, and game FAQs in PDF format are perfectly readable on the JBL in landscape format.
The size is fine for carrying around in a normal purse and for one-handed operation by my average sized female hands. It's also surprisingly durable knocking around in my purse with a checkbook, wallet, pen, digicam, and phone, even without a cover.
Hope your wife likes hers as much as I like mine!
