Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum and have been lurking in the ereaders section for the last week or so.

I was holding out for a colour ereader but decided it was time to get an ereader. That decision was made easier when my pda died a couple of weeks ago.

I made the plunge and ordered the jetbook yesterday from newegg.com. It'll come with the leather cover and a booklight (a bundle package).

While the jetbook will be my first "ereader", I have been reading ebooks/emagazines using isilo and mobipocket and zinio on my pdas and tablets for many years.

I have three questions that I hope someone can help:

1. Will I be able to use the French/English dictionary when I read books in French? If the French/English dictionary is not included, can I purchase it from Ectaco?

2. I noticed that ebooks are being offered for sale in a number of formats including epub, mobi and pdf. Should I get them in epub or it doesn't really matter?

3. until the new firmware arrives, am I correct in that I can drop purchased ebooks into calibre and that will allow me to transfer them to my jetbook?

Thanks and I'm sure I'll have more questions once the jetbook arrives.

Cheers
