CES 2010 has a few too many eBook reader companies present this year, and most were pushing how pretty their devices were.
I looked and felt ALL of eBook readers today. QUE, iRiver, EZreader, and other 'new & affordable' ebooks.

NO eBook readers were cheaper than jetBook, and they all used the inferior screens. Taking longer than 2 sec (on an average. iRiver takes 3 exact seconds for a page turn) to turn a page was a no-no. Not to mention no 'flash' while turning.

jetBook needs more recognition. It was the best ebook reader on the floor.
Inferior screens: Technically speaking, you're not right, of course! All the other readers had an e-ink screen. This kind of screen is not as "fast" as an LCD-screen for technical reasons. e-ink screens are also a bit more expensive thus making the hardware more expensive, too! The distinctive advantage of those screens is the fact that they are stable and therefore better for your eyes on the long term!
