Yes. But the devices will be on sale worldwide, from Atek's Robertb:

Yes, they will be offered worldwide. My understanding is that our partners, Netronix in Asia and Longshine in Europe will be the distribution there.

Anyway, congrats.
I think I decided to order a Kindle tommorow.

So ... the jetBook didn't do it enough for you to order one?

Doesn't bode well when someone gets to use a device and not find it good enough to purchase.

Congrats on your decision for the Kindle though, I'm green with envy

You couldn't tell from my review? I tried not to be too harsh but still make it clear that I didn't recommend it. If it supported Mobi or eReader and re-flowed PDFs... The device itself I did like and the folder support and file manager.

Actually, I re-read and thought about your decision after I posted. It makes perfect sense now.

I like the way the jetBook looks as well, your appreciation of the device itself did come through in the review.

But, as you say, lacking support for at least one of the big commercial e-book retailers kills it for me as well.
