What is the advantage of going with the jetbook firmware in a Aluratek?
I made the physical jump from Aluratek to jetbook thinking that the Jetbook would be a superior device. I also assumed that I would still have ADE ePub DRM. It was access to the built in Dictionary that loured me.
As it turns out I lost ADE ePub DRM access. The PDF reading was better on the Aluratek.
The dictionary turned out to be a disappointment - big time. 9out of 10 word look ups were not found. I am not talking about technical terms or specialized words. It just seems to be a very basic English dictionary. May be because they include cross references for 4 other languages.
The only reason I didn't send the unit back is I would have taken a big $$ loss on it. Shipping and restocking fee, even though the expectations were not met and they still have yet to come through with the DRM issue.
As the Aluratek supports serif font, ADE DRM, ePub w/better image display and font character support, as well as pretty decent PDF reader it makes up for the lack of a weak dictionary and the T9 text entry utiliy.
IMO
