Thumbs up another newbie arrives...
Hi, smallhagrid here.
Broke down recently after reading a bazillion reviews and bought me a Jetbook.
Amazing - love at first read.
Of course all these things have their foibles and limitations - the biggie here being the inability to 're-flow' PDF files, so a-searching I went for solutions, and where did that lead me but right here !!!

Nice place BTW, I am enjoying it very much thus far.

Now it's time to ride the learning curve and see which nice, free program is what I need for making things best readable for my tired old eyes - will it be Calibre, Book Cleaner - or some combination of several things - only time will tell.

I am delighted that I landed upon the Jetbook - with all the formats it supports and it's nice screen (and better price...) - but best of all, for me - a guy who absolutely has a book nearby at all times; now I can carry an entire shelf of 'em everywhere I go, Yippee !!!

Welcome smallhagrid. I've been keeping an eye on the Jetbook, but haven't made a decision. I already have 2 readers, so I'm thinking about adding a 5" device maybe later this summer.

We're glad you've joined us at MobileRead.

Thanks Elsi.
Truly I am thinking of the Jetbook as my first - and as they proliferate and get less pricey (one may hope) I will consider another at a later date - but for now it is a wonderful thing which has already enabled me to get and read 2 otherwise very hard to get books !
What could be better ?

Best Wishes,

mark

Hi mark and welcome to MobileRead. You are going to wish you hadn't found us. This damn place is addictive. But, it's too late, so relax and join all of us MobileRead junkies.

Welcome to MobileRead Smallhagrid!

I have jetBook eBook reader more than one year and I like it very much (this portable unit always in my pocket and visited with me 6 countries during this year! )

Enjoy the forum and your jetBook.

Welcome to MobileRead, Marc!

Congratulations on your new reader! Be careful, though, these things can be VERY addictive (as is Mobileread ). Calibre is a great piece of software and our resident guru Kovid Goyal does a fabulous job of giving support when needed as do many of our members. Take your time, tour around MR, and enjoy your new reader.

Happy Reading.
