The JBL will display author on the first line and title on the second if it knows them from a txt filename (the # trick) or if the headers/ metadata in FB2 or PDF contain them. Even if other types do contain the information the JBL doesn't take any notice. So I would like a setup option to just show file and folder names (in order to match what Windows Explorer shows) |

The customer support folks at Ectaco are great!
After a frustrating experience with Fictionwise, who wiped out purchased books before I downloaded them and then erased my micropay, I went searching for a new ebook provider. Sony's Reader Library looks like the best alternative for non B&N new ebooks. Unfortunately, the format doesn't work on jetBooks. Ectaco customer service said they are working on compatibility and sent good list of other ebook download sites to use in the meantime. The response was within 24 hours. |

I just tested it again. It looks like the problem I described above with 3 or more layers of folders causes stalling only shows up when it's in your SD card. If you're working with the internal memory, then you can embed it in as many folders as you want.

Something I noticed the other night. I've been reading "Programming Ruby" in .mobi that I purchased from O'Reilly and I've noticed the jetbook doesn't show the line breaks in many of the code examples. I checked the same file on my Kindle and all the code examples are rendered with the proper line breaks.

Maybe I have no place commenting, because I don't own a jetBook Lite. But I don't see any mention of the drawbacks that have held me back from buying it.

So for me this was a missing feature that I weighed prior to buying the device. |

Might I suggest buying that new ipad or that kindle if you want these features? Features that are clearly not part of the package are not weaknesses nor flaws. I have pointed this out earlier. To complain about this is like complaining that your beagle doesn't get any bigger than 30 pounds or so and that you wanted a 150 pound dog.
Edit. Might as well complain that you can't watch your blueray disc on this device. Last edited by jblitereader; 04-25-2010 at 01:02 PM. |

The library thing will hopefully be updated at some point, but it isn't technically impossible to convert those to plain epubs. It of course requires some honesty to delete the books manually when your 21 days are up. |
