And, if you can't use your library, don't despair, all is not lost.
There are loads of books at project Gutenburg, manybooks.net, and other sites. Many of which you can choose your format. Download to a PC, copy to an SD card, drop it into the Jetbook and your set for a long time.

Thanks Ghost. I guess I will keep it, it was just a shock to hear that it couldn't read some library books. I was more concerned about new books coming out, which I usually get from the library, and was looking forward to reading on the JBL. I lost my job last July and can't really afford to buy a lot of books, even at $9.99. It was a stretch even getting the reader, but the income tax refund is in, so this is sort of like a Valentine's day/Annerversary/Father's day present.
Thanks for the words of hope, I didn't get much of that in the other replies. I'll take your advice and not despair
As you said, I'm sure that there are tons of free books out there I haven't read yet, and possibly in the future maybe the libraries will provide more compatible formats.
Have a GREAT day!
