Let us know how it works for you! What ebook format (ePUB, Mobi, etc) were you planning on using?

Congratulations! Is it black or white unit?

I have used Mobi and ereader formats on my PDA in the past. I've noticed in the information with the Jetbook that it strongly suggests using plaint text as a format so that's what I'm doing for the present. I would like to hear from others who have used other formats as to what their experience has been.

Actually, in the current firmware (33c) there's a bit of a bug affecting text, that is: it removes single line breaks. This looks great for Project Gutenberg texts, but not-so-great for the included books that come on the device.

Mobi works fine, ePUB works, and this new firmware also supports HTML. I use mostly ePUB and handmade PDF's (either my own or PDF's from ManyBooks/FeedBooks).

I use Mobi, PRC and ePub format. I tried HTML and it works fine too.

How is Mobi, EPub and PRC different from plain text--what advantages?

Nicer presentation with different font sizes, chapter headings, inline images (if the original book had any), etc.
