I received a new jetbook lite today and just didn't like it at all. It was so very slow and needed light to be just right to be able to read it right. I have been useing a palm tungsten t3 for a very long time as a ebook reader and compaired to the jbl I fine the t3 to be much smaller and therefor more portable with a lost of just 4 words on screen and the t3 is also a tft screen but with a backlight. The screen is smaller but has almost the same amount of words as the jbl. The jbl has a good amount of spaceing in it on screen. They both have a great screen resalution but the t3 wins with the backlight over the jbl. Also the jbl is 6 x 4 1/4 and the t3 is 4 1/2 x 2 3/4 closed and opened it is 5 1/4 x 2 3/4.
jbl screen is 5" di the t3 is 3 3/4" di. but with almost the same amount of words because of closer spacing. I really wanted to like the new jbl. If it had closer spacing with more words on screen and had a backlight I might have kepted it. Both were at 12 pt front. So I sent the jbl back and now really like my t3 much more after the compairason. If a new reader comes out with the same tft screen with backlighting and faster operation I would look into it.
This is my first post here so helo to all and thank you for all the info I read here. I have been reading about the jb-jbl for days now and had lots of fun and enjoyment doing it so thanks again to all.
