I have a JetBook Lite and a Cybook Gen 3.

The JBL crops the edges of the pdf which makes a huge difference in making it more readable. I can read a lot of pdfs on the JBL that I can't read on the Cybook.

I like the AA batts, no waiting for the battery to recharge before I can read again. It will also be awesome when I travel.

The screen on the JBL is better than the e-ink screens, in my opinion. But the e-ink is readable too, I haven't had a problem reading on it. The JBL screen has a lighter background, creating more contrast.

I love the super fast start from sleep mode on the JBL.

Cons-

JBL doesn't support links.

The formatting of epub and mobi is poorly supported. Particularly mobi. Some people have said the same of txt files. The JBL doesn't display all the formatting included in the book, it rewrites it.
