Please note that the JetBook supports not-protected ePub, Mobi, PRC, RTF, .txt, .pdf, .fb2, .jpg, .gif, .png, and .bmp formats now.
Should you need any other assistance please let me know.

;;;I then responded with:
"thank you for your reply.... but HOW do i know if the files are protected or not? ---before--- i purchase them...." |
They answered your question. This is info that was on the box of the reader and you should have known before purchasing. It's not their fault you are buying books you can't read. Asking the site you're purchasing from or reading the web site info before you buy is simple enough.

The wiki here has a
list of sites that have DRM free books.
It also lists sites where
you can get free ebooks.
I hope the lists help you.

Thank you for registering to the Free Book Search service for JetBook users. Our current records do not indicate you as a current owner of JetBook, but we would be glad to help.

However, we deeply apologize for any inconvenience in case you already bought a JetBook and our records were not properly updated.
Please email us at info@jetbook.net or fax at 1-718-728-4023 a proof of purchase with the serial number of your JetBook (found on the back side of the case) and we will be glad to assist you. |
All they want you to do is register your device to use this service. Seems reasonable to me. Drop them an email with your serial number and start using their service.
