- You want to simulate a paper reading experience (i.e. the bookshelf view appeals to you, you don't care about advanced features and just want to read a book straight through)
The function im talking about is while reading, to be able to bookmark a page that maybe has important info, and then later on while reading being able to go back to that bookmark.

Basically the two reasons you listed there are me. It's between this and the jetbook lite it is looking like for me. While I don't need the advanced features bookmarking, and 0dictionary would be nice. The main thing I like about this unit is the price for the 6 inch display.

I don't suppose you could make a video of it in action and post it up?
