There is a mode called Split Screen:9, which creates a 3 X 3 grid on your 8.5 X 11 inch PDF, and each of the nine parts of the 3 X 3 grid are mapped to the 1-9 key. So to read a page, you press 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3 a bunch of times until you consume the first 1/3 of the page, then you start pressing 4-5-6-4-5-6-4-5-6, etc, until you finished the page.
This is hard to keep the flow of the writing going as you are constantly pressing these buttons.
The Aluratek Libre, which is the same hardware as the Jetbook (not lite), has PDF reflow, so you might check that out. It doesn't used the AA batteries like the Lite (meaning it has a charger), but it does support music. The dictionary support is not as rich as the JetBook, but that's because Ectaco is a translation dictionary company.
I would defer any judgment of the Ipod Touch until you tried it after playing with the other ereaders. The text looks very crisp and the hardware is very responsive, which make the user experience quite delightful.
