Funny I guess I must be the exception.
I've got a Jetbook and I'm totally happy with it.
Wide range of format types.
Easy to load via usb plug or SD card.
Very crisp screen with several font sizes.
Battery life is pretty good as it averages 18 - 20 hours between charges.
DRM really hasn't mattered to me up to this point as I seldom can afford to buy books.
But it sounds like even that is in the next firmware release.
Improvements perhaps, like the low battery warning only popping up 3 times over the last hour instead of every few minutes. Or perhaps actually telling me how long till the unit will shut down and have to be charged so I can plan accordingly.
Rather than endless new variations on the same theme hardware wise I'd prefer to see actual standards being set for formats. So that a year or 2 from now if you buy or download a book, or borrow an ebook from a Library you could put it on any device and have it work.
Perhaps we will have to create a new group to do it. The international coalition of ebook readers or something.
