No need to hate my Jetbook!
However, two things disappointed me. One of them is the empty promises by Ectaco to provide an upgraded firmware.
The other is the unnecessary delay when switching the device on. Maybe I am spoilt by the previous palmtops I owned (Handspring Visor, Palm TX, HP Ipaq hw2xxx series), but I expected that the wake-up from standby would be almost instantaneous. With PDAs, it was certainly so, no matter which program was used to read the ebook - be it Mobipocket, Isilo or Palm Reader. It seems things are different with Jetbook. Every time it wakes up from standby, it seems to do something, so there's a delay that is quite noticeable when compared to the palmtops. Perhaps this is just a software problem that can be healed by improving some bits in the firmware, but there's no new firmware, so we're back to square one...
