Well I don't have a Libre, so I can't speak to that.

However I do have both a regular Jetbook and a Jetbook Lite.

Currently, i'm using the JBL and saving the Jetbook for backup.

Partially because I'm actually getting more hours of use out of the rechargeable batterys in the Lite that I was in the Li-Ion battery in the Jetbook.

Partially because when the Jetbook runs out of juice I have to park it for 4 hours while it charges. With the JBL I go swap out the old batterys for freshly charged ones, and in 5 min I'm back reading again.

I read quite a bit and my JBL has been averaging a week on a set of battery's.
Once in a while I'll only get 6 days, but I was charging my Jetbook at least every 4 days.

Bring up a picture of the Jetbook and the Libre. The buttons are exactly the same, in the same places. In pictures the screens are identical.
