That comment about it being a clone I don't know if that is true. I believe that they may have been released almost at the same time. I was told that the hardware is OEM. Both Aluratek and Ectaco probably went hardware shopping at the same time. The units are identical - processor, control interface, memory, display, SDHC support etc. I have heard that they run a linux version (Not sure) and the CPU is only a 200 mhz device. Even the softcase is the same except for the logo. The box is the same as well (except for the printing).
The underlying e-reader software is probably the only difference. Even the menuing system and common software apps (picture, mp3 player, file maintenance and firmware upgrade procedure ) is the same.
When i think of a "Clone" I think of an original device that was copied but may not look exactly the same due to copy right infrindgements.
Such as the Apple PC and the clones such as the "Rainbow" that followed.
In this case which came first the jetBook or the Libre??
