Right, I even got my first JBL from eReader.com. The thing is though, you will eventually want to remove any DRM, from the ebooks you purchase, even from those
in the DRM format that your device supports.
One of the main reasons I initially chose the JBL was that it would read all the Palm
.pdb ebooks that I had for my Pocket PC/GPS. I also wanted a reader that would
handle all the basic formats that ebooks were being offered in, the JBL does a very good
job in that regard. The important thing is the basic format support, as the DRM can
usually be removed.
There are a number of sources that offer ebooks in a number of formats. There are
even those selling very good, if not from the major publishing houses, DRM-Free ebooks.
More and more authors and small publishers are offering their ebooks from their own web
sites.
Then there are many free ebook sources, that can provide books in at least one of the
JBL's supported formats.
An important tool to keep in mind is Calibre, which has an output profile for the
"Jetbook 5-inch". It can convert most non-DRM formats to those supported by the JBL.
It includes options that let you correct the common issues with some of the ebooks you may encounter.
Luck;
Ken
