Ectaco Jetbook review
I found an interesting review over here. It's worth a read.

Nice read. The Jetbook Lite is almost a disposable ereader at it's price I've seen it for ~$119 and have been tempted to pick it up myself. Everything I've read about them both have been very positive.

Very nice. A fair and accurate review and well written. Thank you for posting it.
I loved my JBL when I had it and was perfectly happy with it. Too bad it stopped working. |

Would ebook readers, such as the Jetbook be able to include a dvd of, for example, the Project Gutenberg library? Is that within the license of PG?
It strikes me that being able to say, "Sure it costs $150, but you get 500 classic books with it, and 20000 more are available at... for free" might help people get over the "I'm not paying $150-300 for a book mentality. That's how I justified my ebookwise...I just happened to know about PG. |

Ah - sorry.
I didn't know the JB regular model doesn't support DRM... Last edited by LS650; 02-08-2010 at 11:15 AM. |
