I have the JE100, which has the same form factor. It's a great form factor for ebook reading - very light and easy to hold. Battery life on the JE100 is only 3-6 hours depending on usage. I haven't encountered a problem with battery life when just reading a book. The jAnd 700 has a slightly more powerful battery so it might last a little longer. The best thing about the battery, though, is that it is user-replaceable. It's a commonly available Nokia battery that you can purchase inexpensively. So you can have several batteries and swap them out as needed. The JE100 & 200 have an external dongle for WiFi, whereas the jAnd 700 has internal WiFi. That along with a faster processor makes the jAnd 700 a better choice if you want to use the device for web surfing and video watching. I think it is the form factor and the replacable battery that makes these devices worth looking at.
