1. Slow loading of books off SD card (benched at supporting 15MB/sec)-- likely culprit being the JBL SD reader
2. Large ebooks take forever to load, and 1MB is already large to the reader
3. Weird screen flicker problem (click for link to problem)
Well, I've been playing around to solve some weaknesses of the JBL and I actually found a solution for loading very large ebook files. You need to create a text file that contains only about a few words. Just type a sentence in a text file and save it in your JBL. Everytime you've reseted your jbl or changed batteries, open up that small text file first. And then open your larger ebook file. Will only take like 2 seconds after you've opened up a small file first.

4. No PDF reflow support
Stay away from pdf, dude.

5. Choice of only 2 fonts-- can't add own[/LIST]
What is this with people complaining about font options? If you buy a paper book, you will only have 1 font option.

I mean, is it that important to people to have multiple fonts to choose from?

But if it's that important to people, be my guess in spending hundreds of dollars on an ebook reader that offers you more font choices.
