A real plus for Ectaco I think would be a solar powered battery charger as an accessory. Ideally it would have a battery in it that would charge when in sunlight. Plug it into a jetbook for a few hours and the Jetbook is ready to go again. Solar charger goes back into the window to recharge.

I know the costs of solar panels is dropping pretty nicely.

Also I wondered if Ectaco had ever considered offering preloaded SD cards for Jetbook. Especially for people who do not have regular access to Computers, etc. With the low costs of SD cards, and the availability of so many public domain books I think this is a service that many new buyers would be interested in.

I completely agree about the SD card. The success of the jetBook need not rely upon people's computers and their computer skills.

Several users here could offer that service at a nominal cost.

For instance create cards that have the following libraries:

Masters: Dickens, Shakespeare, Poe, etc.

Science Fiction: Heinlien, Norton, etc.

Mystery collection, romance collection, etc.

We could gather these from the public domain sources and place them here on MobileRead for people that want to create their own SD cards and supply the pre-programmed SD cards to people that want them.

Interesting points.

The jetBook does have all those classics pre-loaded, but the fact that we have the choice to download virtually any books we want to it is the greatest feature of all.

yes, you can also save your own documents for example in RTF format.
I did it many times with my agreements, notes etc.
