Thanks for adding that clarification, Dale! Yes, it's only the LITE jetBook that supports the BN "secure" ereader format with firmware v15, regular jetBook owners are still awaiting their update. And Sony ADE epub books are a no-go with both versions of jetbook... I would like to say "for now" as rumours continue to swirl that Ectaco are "working on it".

I think $99 is a fantastic deal for the Lite jetBook; I paid $115 and still consider that a bargain.

I finally got my De-DRM working for those pesky ADE epubs after months of trying, so I am good to go with all the formats I need on my JBL except Amazon's Topaz -- and PDFs which don't look good at all on a small screen (to me). Those I still read on a big LCD monitor attached to my laptop.

GA Russell, I recall that you bought your JBL around the same time as I did (December last year), so if you haven't already done so, you will probably need to update the firmware in your device to get the full features of the BN pdb format, font sizes etc. Follow the instructions given here
