I really wish the OP of this thread would pick one up and compare to the e-ink screens. There's no reason at all that anyone should consider another eReader over the Jetbook Lite.... well, at least not a good reason. 
I'm not sure why anybody after a PDF reader would look anywhere else. This thing is pocketable, trims off the whitespace around the sides/top/bottom of PDFs, and auto-zooms into the width after trimming that whitespace... so that the PDFs look brilliant when in landscape mode. BRILLIANT!!!
Why spend more than $100 on an eBook reader? |
I certainly thank you for the suggestion - my fault if I didnt specify that e-ink was mandatory among the requirements...
You see, I owned my share of not-e-ink devices in the past - starting with a wonderful Rocket Ebook - so I know
for sure what happens when using them outdoors, under the sun!
thanks again...
