Got my Jetbook Lite today!

It's a lot smaller than I thought, but it's nice. I'm 1/3 through my first book already. Transferred some of the public domain stuff that I had onto a 4GB SD card that I picked up at Staples, I was going to grab a reader too, but I remembered that my laptop has a built in reader so that saved me a few bucks, the SD card itself was $12.99.

Imported the books into Calibre, copied them onto the SD card, put the card in the JBL and they looked a little funky so I tried telling Calibre to only put the Epub version onto the card, but they were still showing up as PDF's. Figured out that I had to actually convert them using Calibre, Duh! Then they copied fine. Some of the spacing is a little funky, but very readable. I had read here that Epub was the best format for the JBL, so that's what I tried.

I'm SO excited! I do have one book that won't load, says the file size is too big. I had told Calibre to chunk it up if it was over a sertain size, I left it at the default because I thought it would be ok, but I'm going to have to play around with it some more.

Did I mention that I was excited?

YAY!

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I got it from Newegg, and it was laready updated to the latest firmware, v15. I think that a few people were asking that question a little while ago.
