Me too Russell!

I had been expecting it to drop for some time.
And I had been reading for 2 hours when it finally did drop.

Either way 5 1/2 almost 6 days, or I would estimate about 1000 pages.
(seems to change page # only every other turn)
or about 2k page turns.

The thing I really, really, REALLY like, is that rather than having to plug the book in, and walk away, do something else for 4 hours. I was able to swap battery's, and in 5 minutes was back in my book again. That is why I switched, and for that reason alone, IMO the JBL beats the Jetbook.

Ohhh and one set of mom's and dad's came by today.
Shocked, then uncertain, then interested, then intrigued.
By the time I was done my dad was starting to show signs that this is going to work.

Mom has rather wider tastes and can still read regular print.
Dad after 45 years of farming is needing large print in order to read.
Set it to max size, and swapped it landscape style and he could read that easily.

Time will tell, but he's 85, almost 86, and the longer I can keep him sharp and interested the longer he'll be around.
