Would a higher mAh make any difference?

Yes. The higher mAh batteries should provide useable power for a longer period of time.

(Saw some) NiMH rechargeables that claim to have a mAh of 3600. Never seen any that high.

Neither have I. That is higher than many alkalines!
Anecdote:
Not too long ago, I purchased some inexpensive "1800 mAh" AAA rechargeable NiMH batteries from an overseas vendor on eBay. I had never seen triple-A rechargeable batteries with such a high current rating. A few tests showed the batteries were more like 600 mAh than 1800 mAh. The vendor is no longer selling on eBay.
Yes, there IS a difference among batteries (even batteries of the same type), and there might be a difference among JBLs - and how they handle rechargeables. Ken Maltby's comment about lots of variability in the parameters is quite valid!
We may end up using the "empirical method" to determine compatibility of batteries ... (use whatever works for ya)
[Remember, if your JBL does "lock up", you probably can restore it by going through the long firmware update process, and save a mailing to Jetbook customer support. Be patient.]
