Color is not essential to me but crisp text from 2 columns research papers produced from LaTeX are the main rationale for this purchase.
Of course, there is still the Onyx Boox M92 and the Hanvon WiseReader E920 to consider, do you know if those are substantially better than the Ectaco color JetBook when rendering b/w documents?

The jetBook Color is essentially the Hanvon WiseReader C920, with Ectaco
firmware. The Hanvon WiseReader E920 appears to be the same as the
Hanvon WiseReader C920, without the color filter layer on the display. The
Ectaco Color's firmware appears to have addressed some of the issues that
were raised against the original Hanvon firmware's performance, but then
they also created a device tailored to the educational market and the
stipulations of the Russian contract.
So, logic would suggest that the Hanvon WiseReader E920, being a high res
b/w device, it would then be the better renderer of b/w documents. That is
only true as far as the hardware capabilities are concerned. There are many
examples of the critical difference that the firmware makes with this type of
device, so some caution is advised.
