The article in Pencomputing with pictures: ECTACO jetBook-Lite

Nice article

This is a review of the jetBook-Lite by ECTACO that, with a list price of just US$149, is a less expensive alternative to the likes of the Amazon Kindle or the readers from Sony and others. Using and playing with the jetBook brought up all sorts of thoughts and commentary on electronic books, and so this article ended up being both a review and an opinion piece on the state of eBooks.

I think that that's a fair review and analysis.

The cons at the end of the review are items that don't concern me, and I suspect won't concern many others either.

I think the review was fair and honest, but wrong some places, in my opinion.

Holding the JBL by the battery cover makes it balanced, to me. The battery box adds
balance, IMHO.

The "OK" button makes PDF zooming a snap.

Luck;
Ken

Also the Newest firmware update fixed the Barns & Noble issues stated in the review. My Jetbook Lite was shipped to me today with the latest firmware version.
