I purchase the Jetbook for one other reason that has not been stated.

The company does not have an e-book outlet that ties to this particular reader.
Most of the other ones I have come in contact try to tie their ebooks to a particular hardware format.

I felt that since the jetbook was not tied to a particular ebook outlet they would work harder to support more formats.

I do not see the Nook, the Kindle, the Sony trying to support other formats as they are with the jetbook.

I chose it also because it feels substantial in my hand, that my holding it wrong would not damage it.

I prefer the display technology and the overall combination of all the features.

All in all, even with the infancy of the firmware, I felt the jetbook was the best investment.

BTW. I did not mind the price of $149.00 at the time when money is tight also.
