I have both a Jetbook, and a Jetbook Lite. As to your questions....
* Is the screen big enough to read comfortably from?
I think the screen is just fine to read comfortably with.
* Do you find yourself pressing the "next page" button too frequently?
Too frequently? LOL do you turn the pages of pbooks too frequently?
When you run out of words, you push the button, period.
* How does the reading experience compare with reading from a normal sized pocket book.
Measuring one, I noticed that a 5" screen would show14 lines less text (37 lines) than the measured pocket
book 51 lines (small text in this book). As this text is rather small, I'd have to make the font a bit bigger and
thus loose a few more lines. Adding one inch would ad about 8 more lines in this example.
Does it really matter? I do read in landscape mode, as that gives me longer lines which to me are easier to read. I'd be willing to bet that by your 2nd or 3rd ebook the whole process will have become automatic and you won't even think about it anymore.
Books just "flow" on the page and the reader is just the delivery system.
To me the decision of which reader to buy reflects more about what you read and where you expect to get your books. If you want to read the latest releases you may be better off getting something like a kindle or sony.
However if your ok with reading public domain books or the other free books out there, then I really can't recommend either of the Jetbook's highly enough.
You might want to browse through the Jetbook forum here at MR for some of the older threads. Lots of good hints, and tips in there, as well as some pictures and comparisions.
