Is the Jetbook a better option?
I mainly read in bed and need to read a larger than normal font size. I am running out of large print options at my local library.
I am thinking that the 5 " Jetbook in landscape mode may give a "brihter" contrast than e-ink.
Any thoughts?
Thanks DrDK

Dear Dr.DK:
There are SO many benefits to E-Ink:
1, 8,000 pages to a single charge (roughly 2 novels). If you read 2 hours every day it should last you a week at least.
2. No eye strain. Ever sat at a computer? It tires your eyes and they start to water after a while. You do not get this with E-Ink. Your eyes remain refreshed and feeling fine after long reading,.
3. Contrast is a subjective thing. To me, the 5 inch Pocket PRO has excellent contrast and you can chage the font styles as well. Also, when reading PDF or EPUB, you have NINE font sizes at your beck and call.
Plus, buying an eBook Reader Light is very inexpensive and easy. We are planning at Astak to run our "free reader light with every Pocket PRO purchased" again soon.
PLEASE, do not make the mistake of thinking a back-lit screen is good.
